Christow railway station
Christow Railway Station previously Teign House〔 was a railway station serving Christow, a small town in Devon, England located on the line between the towns of Newton Abbot and Exeter.
==History==
Until 1943 Christow was the only passing place on the Teign Valley railway. The red brick station building was on the up platform. The down platform had a waiting shelter and at the far end of the platform was a raised timber built signal box. Originally Christow the terminus of the line from Heathfield, then called Teign House and during this time an extension existed for loading stone, known as Teign House Siding.〔
The down loop was extended northwards by 370 yards in 1943 as part of the upgrading of the route for trains diverted from the South Devon main line. The sidings are now the home to The Exeter and Teign Valley Railway. They have a Toad brake van that has been converted for sleeping accommodation.〔(Disused Stations ) Retrieved : 2012-10-10〕
Passenger numbers reached their peak in the 1930s with seven daily services provided each way between Exeter and Heathfield. During World War 2 this was reduced to four trains in each direction, still with no trains on a Sunday. This was increased to five daily trains after the war. As stated, the line was sometimes used as a diversionary route if the South Devon main line was unavailable.〔(Disused Stations ) Retrieved : 2012-10-08〕
