Brixton Road railway station

Brixton Road railway station served the village of Brixton, Devon, England from 1898 to 1960 on the Plymouth to Yealmpton Branch.

History
The station opened on 17 January 1898 by the Great Western Railway. A signal box and goods shed, along with its sidings, were installed in May 1905. Due to it being outdone by road competition, the station closed on 7 July 1930 but remained open to goods traffic. It reopened on 3 November 1941 but the passenger services were diverted to Plymouth Friary instead of Plymouth because the goods yard had been damaged by bombs in the Second World War so it had been temporarily closed. The station closed to passengers again on 6 October 1947 and to goods traffic on 29 February 1960.
