Newton Poppleford railway station
Newton Poppleford railway station is a closed railway station that served the village of Newton Poppleford in East Devon, England. The station was opened by the Budleigh Salterton Railway on 1 June 1899 and closed by British Railways on 6 March 1967.
History
The station was opened as a small station on the Budleigh Salterton Railway. The station was host to a Southern Railway camping coach from 1935 to 1939. A camping coach was also positioned here by the Southern Region from 1954 to 1964. Goods facilities were withdrawn in 1964 and the station was downgraded as a halt. The station was completely closed in 1967.
Present state
The station and the bridge over the A3052 road have both since been demolished, with no tangible evidence remaining.
