Exeter Memories This small halt was opened on 1 June 1908 when the line as far as Topsham was doubled and a steam motor-rail service introduced. Originally, both and the up and down platforms were constructed of timber. In 1927, the platforms rebuilt using pre-cast concrete components that were fabricated at workshops located at nearby Exeter Junction. Each platform was approached, initially by wooden steps, that were replaced by concrete steps when they were rebuilt. The halt also had a small concrete shelter for passengers, and there was a ticket office at road level below the down platform, requiring the ticket clerk to leave the office to intercept passengers bound for the up train.

Great Scenic Railways The Avocet Line between Exeter and Exmouth hugs the Exe Estuary for much of its route and offers some excellent views, particularly for those who enjoy bird watching.

There are plenty of places to visit along the route of the line. Estuary-side settlements such as Topsham and Exmouth are very easy to get to by train. Topsham is a delight for those who enjoy a bit of retail therapy, and Exmouth has plenty to offer those who like traditional seaside towns and water sports.

Devon & Cornwall Rail Partnership With 1.8 million journeys made in 2016 alone, the Avocet Line provides a vital link between Exeter and Exmouth for commuters, students and visitors alike.

The Avocet Line received its formal designation as a community rail line in 2012. Since then, the line has been supported by the Devon and Cornwall Rail Partnership and has continued to go from strength to strength. This has included the opening of Devon’s first new station in two decades at Newcourt, and continuing growth in passenger numbers.
