History
The station was originally opened as Tipton on the Sidmouth branch line but was renamed Tipton St. Johns in 1881.
The branch line left the main line at Sidmouth Junction (now Feniton) and terminated at Sidmouth. The station was expanded as junction when the line to Budleigh Salterton was created.
Passenger and freight services were withdrawn in 1967.
Present state
The station building and platform remain as private accommodation known as station house.
