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

It 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. The station 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 from Exmouth to Exeter St Davids and Paignton. Connections are available at Exeter Central for Barnstaple also Pinhoe and stations to London Waterloo station; passengers for other main line stations change at Exeter St Davids.
