Located in Exeter’s largest trading estate and one of the largest employment sites in the region, Marsh Barton station is expected to play a major part in improving access to the area from across the city, as well as enhancing links from growth areas to the east of Exeter.
The station will help to unlock development and employment opportunities at Marsh Barton whilst also benefitting existing businesses and residents by encouraging people to shift to a more sustainable mode of transport.
The station will also encourage leisure travel through its close proximity to the Riverside Valley Park, providing easy access for walking and cycling activities. It will also provide a close link to the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital as well as County Hall.
The station opened on Tuesday 4 July 2023.
