I think that before Laira Halt would be Laira Green temporary station (1848 - 1849).

Indeed that is so. Laira was opened in 1848 and closed in 1849.

I will shortly launch the next journey.

Based on the very best information I can find, there were two Laira stations. Laira Green (1848 - 1849) which was the South Devon Railway's temporary terminus and Laira Halt (1904 - 1930) located a little further west. The Wikipedia template for the Exeter - Plymouth line needs amending to show them the right way round and with the name of the temporary terminus properly shown.
