Brimley Halt was a railway station opened in 1928 by the Great Western Railway (GWR) to serve the south end of Bovey Tracey in South Devon, England. It had a single platform and was on a curved section of track without a passing loop or sidings. After closure to regular passenger services in 1959, its last known use by a passenger train was a special train to Bovey Tracey which stopped at Brimley Halt on 5 July 1970. ^[2]
