Former railway station in Devon, England From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hatherleigh Railway Station[1] was a station[2] on the North Devon and Cornwall Junction Light Railway between Torrington and Halwill Junction, serving the town of Hatherleigh. Hatherleigh was the largest place with a station on the line, though the town was almost two miles away. Like others on this line, the station itself was small but it was a passing place on the mainly single-track railway. The stationmaster at Hatherleigh also looked after the other stations on the line, even those, such as Petrockstow and Hole, that were staffed.

The line was opened in 1925 and was operated by the Southern Railway, though it remained a private line until it became part of the Southern Region of British Railways[3] in 1948. The line closed in 1965[4] as part of the Beeching proposals, goods services having been withdrawn the previous year.
