[1] This station was opened by the Great Western Railway on 1 June 1905, one of many halts built to combat the competition from electric trams.

The station has basic amenities only: a shelter on platform 1, plus bike racks and timetable poster boards on both sides.

No staffing or ticket facilities are available, so intending passengers must buy on board the train or prior to travel.

This station is a request stop which means that passengers alighting here must tell the conductor that they wish to do so, and those waiting to join must signal clearly to the driver as the train approaches.

It was part of the Dartmoor Sunday Rover network of integrated bus and rail routes.
