Ashton railway station was a railway station serving the village of Ashton in Devon, England. It was located on the Teign Valley line.
The station was opened on 9 October 1882 as the northern terminus of the Teign Valley Railway when it opened from Heathfield junction on the Moretonhampstead and South Devon Railway.[1] It became a through station when the line was extended to Christow in 1883.[2]
The station had a timber platform and a raised causeway for access when the Teign flooded.[3] An engine shed and signal box were located to the south of the station and the goods yard was equipped with a 2 ton crane.[4][5]
The station was host to a GWR camp coach from 1934 to 1939.[6] A camping coach was also positioned here by the Western Region in 1952.[7]
The station closed on 9 June 1958.[1]
The former station is now a private house.[8] Part of the goods yard crane remains in an adjacent farmyard.
