History

The station originally opened as Ottery St Mary town, probably to distinguish from Sidmouth Junction, which was originally named Ottery St Mary and Ottery road.

Passenger and freight services were withdrawn in 1967.[1]

Present state

The station building is now a youth club. The remaining site is now an industrial estate.[2]

gollark: Also, a minifier written in Lua?
gollark: Also, anyone know of some simple-to-use compression thing?
gollark: `fs.list` definitely works now.I'd like to note that it's not *quuuuuite* compatible with the actual FS API (even ignoring `fs.find`) but should mostly work.
