Okehampton railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Okehampton railway station is a railway station serving the town of Okehampton in Devon, England. The station recently reopened to passenger services on summer Sundays.
Although the station closed in the 1960s, the line remained for freight to a nearby quarry. It is now the headquarters of the Dartmoor Railway. Services are operated between Okehampton and Meldon by the Dartmoor Railway and to Exeter by First Great Western as a joint service.
Okehampton Youth Hostel is based in the old goods shed at the station and operates as an activity centre. The Sustrans trail also passes the station, and runs alongside the railway to Lydford.
