The South Devon Railway was amalgamated with the Great Western Railway on 1 February 1876. On 19 December 1893 the station became a junction, with the opening of the branch to Kingsbridge. The first station on the branch was at Avonwick.
The station has since been closed.

gollark: ... I fixed that, I am now trying to work out the ißue.
gollark: ```scheme(define metagollariosity (lambda (x y z) (define opponent-next-move (z y x z)) (display "about to be gollarious\n") (display "simulating...\n") (write z) (define simulate (lambda (n) (z (cons n y) (cons opponent-next-move x) z)) (define if-defect (simulate 1)) (write "simulated to depth 1") (define if-cooperate (simulate 0)) (write if-cooperate) (if (> (car (prisond 1 if-defect)) (car (prisond 0 if-cooperate))) 1 0))))```
gollark: Yes, I know that, it was a foolish mistake, I fixed it.
gollark: OH BEE, it still errors.
gollark: I see. So I should `car`ify it? Fascinating.
