View NW, towards Bideford and Barnstaple; ex-London & South Western line from Bideford, Barnstaple Junction and Exeter, also continuing to Halwill Junction.
The station and passenger services to Halwill ceased on 1/3/65 and from Barnstaple Junction on 4/10/65. Goods traffic lasted until 17/9/83 - on the Halwill line to Meeth Quarry well into 1982. In 1960 trains were being worked mainly by LMS-type Ivatt 2MT 2-6-2Ts, one of which is here approaching on a train from Barnstaple Junction.
