Trains to Barnstaple - Station Details and further Information on Barnstaple Train Services

Barnstaple train station is the terminus of a long branch line, known as the Tarka Line, 39 miles north west of Exeter St Davids, in Devon. It was known as Barnstaple Junction from 1874 to 1970 as it was the junction for lines to Ilfracombe and Bideford. Barnstaple is served by typically eleven trains each weekday and six on Sundays. Most services run to Exmouth, passing through Exeter St Davids train station where connections with main line services are available.

The single platform is on the east (right) of trains arriving from Exeter. There is level access to the station car park. The centre of Barnstaple is reached by crossing the Long Bridge over the River Taw 330 yards from the station. A footpath from the station leads onto the cycleway along the abandoned railway line to Bideford which forms part of the South West Coast Path.

In 2006 the bridges that carried Sticklepath Hill (the A3125) across the former Bideford and Ilfracombe lines were demolished to make way for a road junction for the Barnstaple Western Bypass, which opened in May 2007. The roundabout here has been built on a raised platform in order to allow for the reopening of the line to Bideford should this be proved viable in the future. Work from the bypass has also included better bus access to the station - a large number of Barnstaple town services, as well as services to Bideford, Ilfracombe and South Molton now call at the station - and a larger car park.

The cafe at Barnstaple station was opened in 2008 by Mike Day in one of the 'closed' areas of the station building, and it appeared in a list of the ten best station cafes published in The Guardian just one year later.
