This station closed to passengers in 1965 but the line remained open as far as Meeth for freight until the 1980s. The line had only just been lifted when I took the picture. The station has now been restored and track relaid.

This line, so important to this part of Devon, was being lifted just to the south. This track, once served by the Atlantic Coast Express, only had days left at this point, possibly hours.

This route is now slowly being rebuilt.
