A new 13 million pound rail station's planned for Edginswell on the line between Torquay and Newton Abbot. The plans are based on consultation with the local community, businesses, and the rail industry. The two-platform station will improve access to Torbay Hospital, Edginswell Business Park, The Willows, and other nearby employment.

Services to and from the station will link towards Paignton, Newton Abbot, Exeter, and Exmouth. It will be built between Newton Road and Riviera Way.
The financial cost of delivering the station is £13.1 million using £3 million of Town Deal funds. This will be matched with Torbay Council funds, section 106 contributions, local transport capital funds and £7.8m from the Network Rail New Stations Funds.
A planning application was approved in 2016 and a new one is expected shortly. Construction should start in the Summer of 2023 with the new station will be open and running by the end of 2024
