Lympstone Village railway station serves the village of Lympstone in Devon, England.
History
Lympstone station was opened with the railway on 1 May 1861. It was renamed Lympstone Village in the 1990s to avoid confusion with the new Lympstone Commando railway station that had opened on 3 May 1976.
Following the privatisation of British Rail it was operated by Wales & West, latterly Wessex Trains, until 31 March 2006 when 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.
Services
Lympstone Village is served by trains on the Avocet Line between Exmouth and Paignton via Exeter St Davids.
