In this early part of the 21st Century the population grows enormously as holiday makers arrive at the local park spread along the top of the esplanade that runs outside the station.

Today the station boasts two long platforms and its signal box controls a level crossing whose gates are operated by the traditional capstan wheel apparatus. The down platform side building houses a small Great Western Railway Museum which opens on Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays between Easter and the end of September and most Galas.

Home Farm, nearby along the seafront, is a small scale animal park with tea room.

Blue Anchor Station has a booking office which sells our full range of tickets including through Bus Tickets to Taunton. Please see the Fares Pages to find out more about fares from this Station. Toilets are available on the Station but there are no disabled toilet facilities though the platforms are accessible by ramp.
