Keyham railway station is a suburban railway station in the city of Plymouth, Devon, England. It is served by Great Western Railway services between Plymouth and Gunnislake, and a very few on the Cornish Main Line to Saltash and beyond.
The entrance is on the down platform, served by trains to Gunnislake and Cornwall. The up platform, reached by a footbridge, is served by trains to Plymouth.
The station is close to the Devonport dockyard.
The station was opened by the Great Western Railway on 1 June 1900. The goods facilities were used for marshalling trains to and from the Cornwall Railway branch into the naval dockyard, opened on 20 June 1867, which enters the dockyard between the station and Weston Mill viaduct.
The Cornwall Railway was amalgamated into the Great Western Railway on 1 July 1889.
Keyham is served by Tamar Valley Line services from Plymouth to Gunnislake, and by a few trains on the Cornish Main Line to and from Penzance, some of which continue eastwards towards Exeter St Davids.
The railway from Plymouth to Gunnislake is designated as the "Tamar Valley Line" community railway and is supported by marketing provided by the Devon and Cornwall Rail Partnership. It is part of the Dartmoor Sunday Rover network of integrated bus and rail routes.
