Torquay railway station serves the town of Torquay, Devon, England. The station is operated by First Great Western. It is just a few yards from the beach.
The platform nearest the beach is served by trains towards Paignton, the opposite platform being used for trains towards Newton Abbot. There is step-free access to both platforms.

History
A railway station serving Torquay had been opened by the South Devon Railway on 18 December 1848, but this station was on the hill distant from the town centre and harbour. A new station near Abbey Sands was opened by the Dartmouth and Torbay Railway on 2 August 1859 when the original station was renamed Torre.
Goods traffic continued to be handled at the original station, the new one retaining a more genteel atmosphere with just passengers, their horse and carriages.
