The station also welcomes trains from London Waterloo run by South Western Railway and CrossCountry services. The station opened in 1844 as the terminus of the Bristol and Exeter Railway. The existing facade dates from 1864 when the station was remodelled from its earliest Brunel incarnation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/therailwaydog.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ab11-pic28-No-date-Exeter-SD-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-67\" srcset=\"https:\/\/therailwaydog.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ab11-pic28-No-date-Exeter-SD-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/therailwaydog.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ab11-pic28-No-date-Exeter-SD-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/therailwaydog.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ab11-pic28-No-date-Exeter-SD-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/therailwaydog.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ab11-pic28-No-date-Exeter-SD-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/therailwaydog.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ab11-pic28-No-date-Exeter-SD-1568x1176.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/therailwaydog.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ab11-pic28-No-date-Exeter-SD.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The semaphore signals and signal box seen in this 1980&#8217;s view are long gone<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"789\" height=\"597\" src=\"https:\/\/therailwaydog.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Untitled-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68\" srcset=\"https:\/\/therailwaydog.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Untitled-2.jpg 789w, https:\/\/therailwaydog.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Untitled-2-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/therailwaydog.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Untitled-2-768x581.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 789px) 100vw, 789px\" \/><figcaption>Class 33 No. 33 030 waits alongside Peak 45 010 on 25th May 1979<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/therailwaydog.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ab11-pic31-No-date-Exeter-SD-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69\" srcset=\"https:\/\/therailwaydog.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ab11-pic31-No-date-Exeter-SD-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/therailwaydog.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ab11-pic31-No-date-Exeter-SD-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/therailwaydog.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ab11-pic31-No-date-Exeter-SD-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/therailwaydog.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ab11-pic31-No-date-Exeter-SD-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/therailwaydog.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ab11-pic31-No-date-Exeter-SD-1568x1176.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/therailwaydog.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ab11-pic31-No-date-Exeter-SD.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Class 50 No. 50 021 waits with an up service<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"592\" src=\"https:\/\/therailwaydog.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Untitled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-70\" srcset=\"https:\/\/therailwaydog.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Untitled.jpg 920w, https:\/\/therailwaydog.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Untitled-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/therailwaydog.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Untitled-768x494.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\" \/><figcaption>Class 33 No. 33 028 departs Exeter St Davids 25th May 1979<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/therailwaydog.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Untitled-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71\" srcset=\"https:\/\/therailwaydog.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Untitled-3.jpg 819w, https:\/\/therailwaydog.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Untitled-3-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/therailwaydog.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Untitled-3-768x399.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><figcaption>Class 50 No. 50 019 &#8216;Ramillies&#8217;
