Newton St Cyres railway station is a railway station serving the village of Newton St Cyres, Devon, England. It is served and operated by Great Western Railway.
History
The station was opened by the Exeter and Crediton Railway on 12 May 1851.
Services
Typically four or five trains in each direction on the Barnstaple to Exmouth service are scheduled to stop at Newton St Cyres on request – this means that passengers alighting here must tell the conductor that they wish to do so, and those waiting to join must signal clearly to the driver as the train approaches. Passengers are usually only allowed to alight or board the train under escort by the conductor via the crewman's door due to the significant height difference between the train's deck and the station platform.
Trains connect with main line services at Exeter St Davids.

Community railway
The railway between Exeter and Barnstaple is designated as a community railway and is supported by marketing provided by the Devon and Cornwall Rail Partnership. The line is promoted under the Tarka Line name.
The Beer Engine opposite the station was one of the pubs that pioneered the link between railways and country inns. In the 1980s it was offering discounted drinks to train passengers; it is now included in the Tarka Line rail ale trail that allows participants to claim merchandise after visiting a selection of pubs along the line.
