History

edit

The station opened in October 1905 by the London and South Western Railway. Like the other stations on the line, trains were diverted to Plymouth Friary due to damage on the original Plymouth station in the Second World War.[1] The station closed on 15 January 1951 but reopened on 2 July 1951, only to close again later the same year on 10 September.[2]
