Seaton Junction Disused Train Station

The station was opened on 19th July 1860 and was initially known as 'Colyton for Seaton'. When the Seaton branch line opened on 16th March 1868 the station was renamed 'Colyton Junction'; on 18th July 1869 the name changed again to the final name of 'Seaton Junction'.

Sections of the line have been re double tracked in recent years; part of me's thinking the whole line might eventually end up being double tracked.

Explored there about 14 years ago. There was no security fencing so we were able to access the platform and look through the windows into the station building. We also picked strawberries from what may have been the station garden.

I wish I'd gone there before the security fencing was there; would love to be able to walk along the old platform

Great informative video 👍

[@westcountryexplorer]

Glad you enjoyed it :) This was one of the few occasions when I could easily recall information whilst recording lol

[@Towpathdippers]

I get like that I have all the information as soon as I am recording poof information gone head blank

[@westcountryexplorer]

@@Towpathdippers Annoying as heck when that happens. One thing I tend to do nowadays is have information written down in a note pad and then refer to it whilst recording.

[@Towpathdippers]

It's what I'm going to do next time

I used to go fishing at seaton as a kid

[@westcountryexplorer]

I've done a little bit of fishing in the past but never been successful at it.

what an absolute waste of a great area

[@westcountryexplorer]

I agree. It would be lovely to see the station brought back to some kind of use.

@@westcountryexplorer don't know if you've ever been to Kingscote Station on the bluebell railway, this one reminds me much of the one in the video and they've done an amazing job. Albeit it's part of the heritage railway but still, makes you wonder what can be achieved.
Thanks for the video and just subscribed. 👍

@@coxallk32 I've not been to Kingscote station yet. I plan to visit the Bluebell railway one day; when I do I'll have a look round Kingscote :) Thank you for subscribing :)
