About Newton St Cyres Station
Known before the Great War simply as “St. Cyres,” the station suffered the disadvantage of being located almost a mile from the village it served. Until the mid-20th century, Newton St. Cyres was among the prettiest of Devon villages, with two rows of 16th and 17th century thatched cottages tightly bordering the main road. The post-World War II increase in traffic led to severe congestion along the narrow main street and, after a prolonged public battle, the entire row of cottages along the south side of the street was demolished, in the opinion of many, an act of public vandalism. Hints of the village’s ancient charm are still to be found at the little ford and along the quiet lane that lies beyond. Newton St. Cyres’s proximity to Exeter, in the gentler days before mass vehicle ownership, ensured a healthy number of railway ticket sales: 10,385 in 1928 -- a figure only surpassed by those of Barnstaple, Crediton and Yeoford. Today the situation is reversed. Few trains stop at the isolated station.
