A similar operation today is difficult to arrange, as the regular timetabled passenger service is much more intensive than in the 1980s.

On 28 May 2010, a section of the Exe Estuary Trail opened between Lympstone and Exton;[3] this runs between the platform and the entrance to the camp.

[4] As a result, the public can now access the station, although the sign on the platform continues to state that "persons alighting here must have business with the camp."

The Ministry of Defence have accepted that the station is the property of Network Rail and, as such, they cannot prohibit members of the public from using the station; however, people wishing to take photographs from the platform should inform the guard room at the Commando Training Centre beforehand.

Trains stop here on a generally hourly basis between Exmouth and Paignton, via Exeter St Davids; however, all services call here on Saturdays.
