The station is sited between Digby and Sowton and Topsham and was opened to passenger traffic on 4 June 2015.

[1] The masterplan set out the basis upon which an area of land to the east of Exeter city centre bounded by Topsham Road to the south west, the A379 to the north and Rydon Lane to the west could be sustainably developed to provide 16 hectares (40 acres) of employment land and 3,500 dwellings.

[3] The report confirmed that Jacobs Engineering had carried out a feasibility study and concluded that there were no technical reasons why a single-platform halt could not be provided at Newcourt, in a similar manner to that at Digby and Sowton.

[9] The single platform is 124 metres (407 ft) long and a passenger shelter, ticket machine and customer information system are provided.

[12] The station is served by all trains on the Avocet Line to Exmouth which gives a half-hourly service in each direction for most of the day.
