Torre railway station is a stop on the Riviera Line in Torquay, Devon, England.
[1] A 7 ft (2,134 mm) broad gauge branch line was opened by the South Devon Railway from Newton Abbot on 18 December 1848; Torre was the terminus and known as Torquay.
The original goods shed was destroyed by fire in 1857 and eventually replaced in 1865 by a stone building alongside the railway on the Newton Abbot side of the station.
The railway had been just a single track originally but, on 26 March 1882, the line to the north was doubled and a second platform opened.
Both lines were blocked and over 3,000 passengers had to be carried by bus between Newton Abbot and Torre.
[8] Torre is served by Great Western Railway local trains in both directions on an approximately half-hourly basis during the day.
As the station lies on the Riviera Line it sees many mainline charter services (including steam hauled) pass through, such as the Torbay Express which runs between Bristol Temple Meads and Kingswear on selected summer Sundays.
