One of the - err - beauties of this question is that it means such different things to different people.   Perhaps smaller stations will be changed less because there's less to be changed.  I looked at some of the smaller stations on the Looe branch / never had any goods sidings so nothing too change. 

Funnily enough,  all the small stations on the Looe line have changed in the last forty years - Coombe Jn lost the second line/loop in the early 80s, St Keyne and Sandplace had new brick shelters with canopies erected in 97/98, Causeland had its shelter pebbledashed around the same sort of time (I think) and all bar Coombe Jn got permanent lighting for the first time around 2003.

The station buildings and canopies at Evesham are not much changed.

The platform extension work and removal of much track and the semaphore signals all mean that the station isn't all that much as it was, though

In many ways it depends on what change is meant. At Maiden Newton the track layout now is not far from what it was in 1857 but has gone through a series of changes.

 The station buildings as they are date from 1862. The original 1857 station buildings were extended in 1859 and 1862.

Here's some (silent) footage of trains in and around Exeter St Davids just over 50 years ago....

I'd say Newcourt has changed very little since it opened!

At the other extreme, the "Trigger's Broom" award goes to Dilton Marsh.

Yes, though if you look back at same location 100 or even 50 years ago ... the original question was

Which stations across the GWR (Great Western Railway) area are LEAST changed from what they were 50 or 100 years ago?
