Copplestone railway station is on the Tarka Line serving the village of Copplestone in Devon, England. It is operated by Great Western Railway.

History

The station was opened by the North Devon Railway on 1 August 1854.^[1]

Description

The station has just one platform, which is on the left of trains travelling from Exeter towards Barnstaple.

Community railway

The railway between Exeter and Barnstaple is designated as a community railway and is supported by marketing provided by the Devon and Cornwall Rail Partnership. The line is promoted under the Tarka Line name.

"The Cross" pub at Copplestone is included in the Tarka Line rail ale trail.

Passenger volume

Although passenger numbers on the Tarka Line have generally been increasing, those at the smaller stations have been in decline. Copplestone is an exception to this and has seen numbers increase by more than 4,000 from the year ending March 2005 to that ending March 2008 .^[2]

Trains connect with main line services at {{stnlnk|Exeter St Davids}}.
