Up Exe Halt railway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Up Exe was a small railway station on the Exe Valley Railway from Exeter St Davids to Dulverton. It opened in 1885 on the section from Stoke Canon to Tiverton as Up Exe and Silverton but was renamed in 1905, Silverton already having a station nearer the village on the Bristol and Exeter Railway main line.

From October 1923, Up Exe was designated as a halt and unstaffed. Both the station and the stationmaster's house remain in residential use.

Up Exe closed with the rest of the Exe Valley line on 7 October 1963. There were no goods facilities at Up Exe.
