East Devon Line
The Exeter-Axminster section of the line to London Waterloo

We’re proud to promote and support the East Devon Line.
It links Axminster, Honiton, Feniton, Whimple, Cranbrook and Pinhoe to Exeter Central and St Davids. South Western Railway operates the train services and manages the stations.
Most of the trains are through West of England Line services to and from Yeovil Junction, Salisbury and London Waterloo and these run hourly through much of the day, seven days a week.
Cranbrook is Devon’s newest station. The £5 million station to serve the rapidly expanding new town opened on 13 December 2015. Cranbrook already has around 1,700 households, a figure set to rise to 8,000 in the next fifteen years.
The Office of Road and Rail estimate that there were 90,458 users of Cranbrook station during the April 2016 to March 2017 financial year.
