GWR trains serve stations between Barnstaple, Exeter and Exmouth, as well as to Okehampton.
It has two platforms and includes four Grade II Listed buildings and footbridge which date from 1847 to 1878. The main building on the up to Exeter platform was built in 1847 and is constructed in Flemish-bonded red brick with Bath stone dressings and a gabled slate roof. It has been claimed to be of an Isambard Kingdom Brunel design. The timber waiting rooms on both platforms might date from 1862 as they are of London & South Western Railway design. The wide bridge has railings down the centre which allowed people on one side to cross between platforms, and on the other side to cross the line when the level crossing gates were closed across the road. The signal box beyond the level crossing dates from 1875, although the Listed building records suggests 1862.
