The Staverton Preservation Group are a dedicated band of volunteers
from the South Devon Railway Association
who look after Staverton Station and its environs.
They are responsible for one of the most picturesque Great Western country
stations.
It has been the focus of attention from numerous film and television
crews; notably the BBC "Hound of the Baskervilles" with Tom Baker, the
series "Lame Ducks" with Loraine Chase, Michael Palin's "Ripping Yarns"
humourous series of fictious stories and the series "A Horseman Riding
By".
The small crossing signal box is original, though when the line was
preserved in the late 1960's a local Vicar had purchased it and had it
in his garden as a green house! A suitable replacement was supplied
and the 'box returned to its original task.
The group now have their own website that can be found by clicking
