Previously named Mudcott, the station was in open countryside at the Mudcott Road level crossing. It was known as Mudcott Passing Loop until the passenger platforms were brought into use.[2]
Infrastructure
It had a passing loop, two wooden platforms and what appears to have been a ticket office-cum-signal box hut. No freight facilities were provided.[3] The signal box was probably connected by phone to the signal boxes at Bideford Yard and The Causeway.[4]
Christie records that the railway company had built a path to allow volunteers from the local militia in Bideford to walk to their nearby rifle range and that this was "a pretty station in the midst of trees."
