The view of bere ferrers station which used to be on the main southern line from london waterloo - plymouth via okehampton taken from the road bridge showing the former down platform along with signal box and station house all still in place, the former up platform and buildings however were not so lucky once the line was singled and lifted past bere alston ... all that is left is the remains of the platform and a station sign
