Unlikely. Newcourt station is 0.7 miles / 15 minutes on foot from the Exe Vale Tesco Extra. They hold leases on various parcels of land in the vicinity and recently stopped, I am told, a new 'pound shop' selling foodstuffs.

Isn't that anti-competitive behaviour?

Tesco also own the freehold on neighbouring stores to their big Extra store down here. Recently been leased out to B&M which has opened a couple of weeks ago.

Don't forget NCO will be ideally placed for IKEA and when the rugby starts again, Sandy Park.

Misread that bit in bold initially. I briefly thought that I, BNM, had been gifted a retail unit. Smiley

Visited Newcourt yesterday, 11/06/2015. No reason other than it's the newest station in the UK▸ (United Kingdom).

Good provision for cycling commuters to leave their bikes at the station rather than take them into Exeter. It's early days so the facilities aren't yet being used to their full extent, but it seems that the cycling commuters start very young in that part of Devon:
