Exeter St Davids station
Exeter St Davids station is the most important of three National Rail stations in the city of Exeter in southwest England. It was opened in May 1844 by the Bristol and Exeter Railway (B&ER), although operated at first by the Great Western Railway, which absorbed the B&ER in 1876. Today the station is owned by Network Rail and operated by First Great Western.
The station, which currently has six platforms — five are bi-directional through lines, while the sixth is an east-facing bay normally used only for stabling trains — is served, in order of frequency, by Wessex Trains, First Great Western, Virgin Trains, South West Trains, and Arriva Trains Wales.
The main passenger overbridge at the station has many paintings resembling frescos and depicting romantic versions of rail travel.
