Marsh Barton railway station

A First Great Western local service from Exeter passes the site proposed for Marsh Barton station
(July 2015)

Marsh Barton railway station is a proposed station in the Marsh Barton area of Exeter, Devon. The station would be located on the Riviera Line between Exeter St Thomas and Starcross stations. Marsh Barton is identified as a strategic employment area in local planning policy, and the new station will support employment development.[1]

Plans for the station are being developed by Network Rail and Devon County Council[2][3] as part of the "Devon Metro" proposal.

Work is due to start on the station in early 2017, and Devon County Council hope that it will be open in December 2017.[4]
