Lympstone Village railway station serves the village of Lympstone in Devon, England. It is a stop on the Avocet Line between Exeter and Exmouth.
History
Lympstone station was opened along with the railway on 1 May 1861. It was renamed 'Lympstone Village' in 1991 to avoid confusion with the new Lympstone Commando railway station that had opened on 3 May 1976.[1]
Following the privatisation of British Rail, the service was operated by Wales & West, latterly Wessex Trains; on 31 March 2006, the franchise was taken over by First Great Western.
Description and facilities
The station is situated on an embankment, with a single platform; a disused second platform is now heavily overgrown. To the south, the line crosses the village on a low viaduct.
It is unstaffed and tickets cannot be purchased at the station. There are stands for bicycle parking and a 20-space car park.[2]
Services
Great Western Railway operate all trains serving the station. There are generally half-hourly stopping trains between Exmouth and Paignton, via Exeter St Davids.[3]
