context_page_description: Starcross railway station is a small station on the Exeter to Plymouth line in the village of Starcross, Devon, England. It is 8 miles 44 chains down the line from Exeter St Davids and 202 miles 36 chains measured from London Paddington via Bristol Temple Meads.
  It is on the shore of the River Exe estuary and is linked to a pier used by the ferry to Exmouth on the other side of the estuary. One of the South Devon Railway engine houses, which formerly powered the trains on this line, is situated alongside the station.
  The station is managed by Great Western Railway, who operate all trains serving it.
context_section_description: Starcross is served by Great Western Railway trains in both directions on an approximately hourly basis during the day (with extras at peak periods).  Most  trains run between Exmouth and Paignton; on Sundays the service is less frequent and most trains only run between Exeter St Davids and Paignton.  The route from Exeter St Davids through Starcross to Paignton is marketed as the "Riviera Line".
  A few trains run from Bristol to Plymouth and beyond, otherwise passengers travelling east or north change into main line trains at St Davids or at Newton Abbot if travelling westwards. 
  There is one direct service in the morning to London Paddington with a return service in the evening. These services operate Mondays to Fridays only. The morning service to London runs via Bristol and the evening return runs via the Reading to Taunton line.
  A ferry to Exmouth also operates on an hourly basis during the day, from Easter to October.
