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

Paignton train station is the train station serving Paignton in Devon, England. It is the terminus of the Riviera Line from Exeter and is also an interchange between National Rail services and the preserved Paignton and Dartmouth Steam Railway.

Paignton is served by First Great Western local trains on an approximately hourly basis during the day. Most trains run to and from Exmouth; on Sundays the service is less frequent and most trains only run to and from Exeter St Davids.

A few long distance trains also run to Paignton, especially during the summer months. First Great Western operate trains from London Paddington station, including the Torbay Express. South West Trains services come from London Waterloo station and CrossCountry services operate from the North of England (Newcastle Central). At other times passengers travelling change into main line trains at Newton Abbot.

The station is sandwiched between two level crossings. At the north (Torquay) end of the station is the busy crossing over Torbay Road. It has a footbridge to allow people to cross the line on foot when the crossing is closed for a train to pass. At the opposite end is the quieter Sands Road crossing, which is used when trains are running on to the carriage sidings or when the heritage line to Kingswear is in operation. Because of this the two lines over this crossing are operated as single tracks with trains running in either direction on both.

The main entrance is through the booking office – the old goods shed – which is constructed from local soft red sandstone. This is on the side furthest from the beach, opposite the bus station, and most trains both arrive and depart from this track (Platform 2). At busy times trains may arrive at the opposite track (Platform 1) but must then continue over Sands Road Level Crossing into the carriage sidings and then return to Platform 2 as the signalling does not allow trains to start northwards from Platform 1. Both platforms have step-free access; passengers unable to use the footbridge are able to pass from one platform to the other over the Torbay Road level crossing which is situated at the north end of the platforms.

The Paignton and Dartmouth Steam Railway has its own independent platform and entrance on the south side of the station. Their locomotives are coaled in the shunting neck adjacent to the approach road, but the shed is at the far end of the station.
