Culmstock Halt railway station served the village of Culmstock, Devon, England, from 1876 to 1963 on the Culm Valley Light Railway.

History

[edit]

The station was opened on 29 May 1876 by the Culm Valley Light Railway. It was situated on the east side of the B3391. Opposite the platform was the goods yard which had two sidings; one serving a loading dock and the other serving a goods shed. 'Halt' was added to the station's name on 2 May 1960 as it became an unstaffed halt. It closed on 9 September 1963.[1] The sidings were lifted in 1965.[2]
