Services
Local passenger services on the line are currently operated by First Great Western. Most days see an approximately hourly service calling at all stations, which runs beyond Exeter to and from Exmouth along the Avocet Line - more frequent at peak times. On Sundays a more restricted service operates, most of which terminate at Exeter.
Other services on the line include First Great Western express services from London Paddington, South West Trains from London Waterloo, and CrossCountry services from the Midlands and the North. These mostly call only at Exeter St Davids, Dawlish, Teignmouth, Newton Abbot, Torquay, and Paignton. Other long-distance services of the same operators call at Exeter, Dawlish, Teignmouth and Newton Abbot before continuing to Plymouth or even Penzance.
