Brimley Halt was a railway station open in 1928 by the Great Western Railway (GWR) to serve the village of Brimley that lies between Bovey Tracey and Ilsington in South Devon, England. It had a single platform and was located on a curved section of track without a passing loop or sidings. A special train to Bovey Tracey visited Brimley Halt on 5 July 1970,[2] its last known use by a passenger train. The track had been lifted by 8 September 1975.[3] The site of the station was destroyed by the construction of a new A382 road along the course of the trackbed.[4]
