Gara Bridge railway station was a stop on the Kingsbridge branch line of the Great Western Railway.

History

Gara Bridge station opened on 19 December 1893, when the Great Western Railway (GWR) opened the Kingsbridge branch line.^[1] The line was authorised for building in 1882 by the Kingsbridge and Salcombe Railway, which was acquired subsequently by the GWR in 1888.^[2]

The stone-built station was the only one on the line to have a passing loop.^[3]^[4] It was host to a GWR camp coach from 1934 to 1939;^[4]^[5] a camping coach was also positioned here by the Western Region in 1956 and 1957, then two coaches from 1958 to 1962.^[6]

Despite a great deal of local opposition, the station was closed for passengers and goods on 16 September 1963.^[1]
