Staverton railway station

The station was opened by the Buckfastleigh, Totnes and South Devon Railway on 1 May 1872.^[1] The railway was amalgamated into the Great Western Railway in 1897 and this in turn was nationalised into British Railways on 1 January 1948.

The station closed to passengers on 3 November 1958 although goods traffic continued until 10 September 1962. It was re-opened by the Dart Valley Railway, a heritage railway, on 5 April 1969.^[1] The South Devon Railway Trust took over the running of the line on 1 January 1991.

There is a single platform on the north side of the line. There is a small brick building which houses the ticket office and two former goods sheds. There is a level crossing at the Totnes end of the station and a small signal box opposite the platform.^[1]

The station is served by trains on all operating days of the South Devon Railway. Trains operate daily from late March to the end of October. On most days, a single train set operates, providing four journeys a day in each direction. On busy days, two train sets may operate, providing more journeys.^[2]
