The line ran approximately 9 miles from the Bristol to Penzance main line at Tiverton Junction to Hemyock on the Somerset border. Since closure the station area has been totally redeveloped.[1] DescriptionUffculme station had a single platform with a loop, and a goods yard was opposite the passenger platform with had two sidings accessed from the loop. One of these served a loading dock with cattle pens.[2] ClosureThe Great Western Railway bought the line in April 1880 and opened it to freight after it became clear that it was unlikely to ever run profitably as a passenger line. Until grouping it operated as a joint freight line .[2] The line was planned for closure when the Beeching Report of 1963 was issued. After closure to passengers in 1963 the station remained open to freight traffic with only the goods yard and loop remaining in use until 8 May 1967, The line remained open until 1975 when it was abandoned.[2] References1. ^{{cite web|last1=Catford|first1=Nick|last2=Lambeth|first2=Roy|title=Station Name: Uffculme|url=http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/u/uffculme/|website=Disused Stations Cite Record|accessdate=2 July 2016}} 2. ^1 2 {{Cite web|title = Uffculme Station|url = http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/u/uffculme/ |website=Disused Stations |accessdate = 7 November 2015 }} 4 : Disused railway stations in Devon|Former Great Western Railway stations|Railway stations opened in 1876|Railway stations closed in 1963 |
