Tamerton Foliot was a railway station, built by the Plymouth, Devonport and South Western Junction Railway (PDSWJR) on its line from to and on the section that is now the Tamar Valley Line. ==History== The station was a later addition to the PDSWJR route (the line having opened in 1890), the original intention had been to build a branch line to serve the village of Tamerton Foliot but this scheme was not proceeded with, and a passenger only station on the main line was opened instead in 1897. The station was poorly situated, being more than from the village, and was consequently very underused once Tamerton came to be served by buses from Plymouth. In 1936, Southern Railway figures showed it was the company's least used station west of Salisbury with less than 1000 passenger journeys in the year. The station had two platforms and as well as the normal facilities of a booking office, parcels office and waiting rooms also had accommodation for a station master, although in later years the station was staffed by just a single porter and eventually became an unstaffed halt. In the early years of the station there was a signal box at the station allowing the station to act as a block section between and but the signal box and signalling has been removed by 1911. The station closed in 1962. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tamerton Foliot railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
