Thorverton railway station
- Thorverton railway station
Thorverton railway station was on the Exe Valley Railway from Exeter St Davids to Dulverton. It opened in 1885 on the section from Stoke Canon to Tiverton.
Thorverton village was poorly served by the road network and bus services with the result that the station was one of the best-used on the Exe Valley line. The station also generated a lot of goods traffic, primarily from the Thorverton Mill, a watermill that was connected by a long siding to the station. Both the station and the stationmaster's house remain, the former much extended and in residential use.
Thorverton closed to passenger traffic with the rest of the Exe Valley line on 7 October 1963. Goods traffic ceased on 4 May 1964.
