Feniton Railway Station (originally Ottery Road, then Sidmouth Junction) is a railway station in East Devon. It serves the village of Feniton but its original purpose was as the interchange with the branches to Sidmouth and Exmouth via Budleigh Salterton. It closed along with the branches in 1967 but was reopened in 1971, as a result of local campaigning by the residents of the rapidly expanding village. The original station building was demolished shortly after the original closure, and was replaced by a modern prefabricated building. The platform is short and long trains overhang the platform and level crossing to the west of the station. Until the platform can be lengthened, selective door opening is used, where only the doors on the front unit will open.
