Any changes at Yeoford, i should say so, unmanned and barren, one now unused platform on the old Exeter - Plymouth southern route, the other platform on the Exeter - Barnstaple line. It used to have a rather tall signal box which loomed over the overbridge.
A disaster occured in the sixties when a tamper stabled in the sidings (now gone) caught fire and burnt the operator to death, suspected he had been smoking while attempting repair a hydraulic leak
