Combpyne railway station was the intermediate station on the Lyme Regis branch line in East Devon, England. Serving the village of Combpyne, it was sited high on the sharp bend that changed the course of the line from south to an easterly direction.

History

Opened under the Light Railways Act 1896, it was operated from the start by the London and South Western Railway. The line then passed on to the Western Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. It was then closed by the British Railways Board.

Buildings

A station consisted of a single short platform with a station house on a nearby road.

The site today

The former station house still exists.
