Trains in Paignton

Paignton has its own train station on the main line, with connections to Torquay, Exeter and beyond, plus the scenic Paignton to Kingswear steam railway for a more traditional way to travel towards Dartmouth. Bus services connect Paignton to the rest of Torbay, and the town is well served given its size.

Parking is generally easier to find in Paignton than in the steeper, more historic towns on this map, with car parks near the seafront and town centre well suited to a family day out. Taxis are readily available, and the seafront area is easy to reach on foot from most of the town.

Every listing comes from Mapzest's directory of real local businesses, many of which manage their own profile directly, so timetable and service information reflects current details. Whether you're arriving by train, the steam railway, bus or car, Paignton's travel options reflect its role as one of Torbay's well-connected family resort towns.

Timetables for buses, ferries and trains serving Paignton can vary by season, running less frequently outside the busy summer months, so it’s worth checking a specific listing’s current schedule rather than assuming a fixed year-round timetable. Booking parking or travel in advance is generally more useful during peak visiting periods than at quieter times of year.

Because these listings come from the operators themselves where they maintain a profile, checking a specific bus, ferry or train listing above is more reliable than relying on a general search for getting around Paignton and the wider Tor Bay area.
