Welcome to the award-winning website of the DRA. We are an all-volunteer organisation dedicated to supporting the former London & South Western Railway/Southern Railway route between Meldon Viaduct and the site of the former Coleford Junction, centred on Okehampton Station.


Nearly 50 years since closure, regular Okehampton - Exeter services recommenced on November 20th 2021, operated by GWR and marketed as The Dartmoor Line. The new service has a dedicated website, dartmoorline.com


As yet the future of the Okehampton to Meldon section is unclear.
