Plymstock railway station served the suburb of Plymstock, Plymouth, England from 1892 to 1961 on the Plymouth to Yealmpton Branch.

History[]

The station opened on 5 September 1892 by the London and South Western Railway. It originally opened on 1 July 1892 but it didn't serve passengers. The signal box was moved onto the platform in 1935. It was later destroyed along with the ticket office by a bomb in March 1941 during the Second World War. They were rebuilt quickly. The station closed on 15 January 1951 but reopened on 2 July 1951, only to close again to passengers on 10 September 1951.[1] It closed to goods traffic on 30 September 1961. The signal box closed in 1963[2]
