[2] The station closed to passengers in November 1958 although goods traffic on the line continued until 10 September 1962.

In 1971 Buckfastleigh became the terminus of the line when the route beyond the station was closed to allow improvements to the A38 road.

Workshops have since been provided for restoring and repairing the locomotives and rolling stock used on the railway.

The goods shed has been converted to a railway museum and this is the home of Tiny the last remaining broad gauge locomotive.

The station is served by trains on all operating days of the South Devon Railway.
