Assuming we don't take the Weston loop - Weston Junction - this station seems to have been on the main line at the junction with the original branch, not on the 1884 loop as suggested in the Wikipedia entry.

There was of course the option of Worle (1st station...1884-1922) that lay between the last two named stations.

Brampford Speke

Brampford Speke is the first station on the Exe Valley Line, unfortunately we need to leave the Bristol & Exeter Railway at Cowley Bridge Junction further down the route to traverse the Tarka Line (as it is now known) to reach Plymouth via Okehampton.
