Keyham railway station is a suburban rail station in the city of Plymouth, UK. It is served by First Great Western services between Plymouth and Gunnislake; most other services pass through the station non-stop.
The entrance is on the platform served by trains to Gunnislake. A second platform is reached by footbridge that is served by trains to Plymouth.
The station is close to the Devonport dockyard.
[edit] History
This station was opened by the Great Western Railway on 1 June 1900. The goods facilities were used for marshalling trains to and from the Cornwall Railway branch into the naval dockyard, opened on 20 June 1867, which enters the dockyard between the station and Weston Mill viaduct.
The Cornwall Railway was amalgamated into the Great Western Railway on 1 July 1889. The Great Western Railway was nationalised into British Railways from 1 January 1948 which was in turn privatised in the 1990s.
