The first section of the line as far as Wiveliscombe opened on 8 June 1871 and had just two stations; the junction station at Norton Fitzwarren was added on 1 June 1873. The section from Wiveliscombe to Barnstaple opened on 1 November 1873 with nine new stations, but two more were added later, one in 1928 and the other in1932.

They are described here from west to east. Unless otherwise stated, each opened with its respective section of line, its goods services were withdrawn from 6 July 1964, and it was closed after the last passenger train on 1 October 1966.
