Marsh Barton station opens in Exeter
Trains have started to call at a new station in the southern suburbs of Exeter this morning, following an opening ceremony attended by transport secretary Mark Harper. Marsh Barton on the Great Western main line is near a park and industrial estate, and is served by trains running between Paignton, Exeter St David’s and Exmouth. The transport secretary visited the station yesterday to declare it open, and while he was in Devon he also visited the site of the nearby Dawlish sea wall, which has now been completed.
