[1] The Exe Valley Railway itself started from the Exeter main line at Stoke Canon and ran northwards to Tiverton.

In October 1913, the Railway Magazine reported that she was "very proud" of her job after 23 years service and hoped to continue indefinitely.

After the line closed the station was demolished, and the cutting in which it was situated was largely filled in.

The level crossing keeper had a cottage and small signal cabin, both of which have survived as a house.

[11] This station was opened on 19 March 1928 to serve the western side of Tiverton and Heathcoat's Mill, a major employer in the town.

It was equipped with a wooden shelter, and the original 109 feet (33 m) platform was almost doubled in length in May 1937.

It was generally unstaffed, but at busy times a porter was sometimes sent from Tiverton to collect and sell tickets.

[13] This small platform with a wooden shelter was opened on 26 January 1929 to serve Burn Farm and the parish of Butterleigh.

[14] When the line opened in 1885 a platform was provided on the east side of the track near the hamlet of Up Exe with the name 'Up Exe and Silverton', although a Silverton railway station already existed on the Bristol to Exeter line to serve that village.

It was provided with a small stone building for passenger use and a house for the station master, although it never had a goods yard.

The main buildings and goods yard were on the southbound side, while a wooden shelter was provided on the opposite platform for passengers travelling towards Tiverton.

The village was not on a main road and had no bus service with the result that the station was one of the best-used on the line and also generated a lot of freight due to nearby Thorverton Mill, a watermill that was connected to the station by a siding.

[6] Thorverton closed to passenger traffic with the rest of the Exe Valley line on 7 October 1963.
