Comparing these pictures to those on the Green Park, Reading thread, it looks like it's a bit behind where Green Park was last February. Let's hope they finish it quicker!

Marsh Barton now appearing as service stop unadvertised in the new May timetable on RealTime Trains.

Passed through last Saturday and a lot of work still to be done. Can't see it opening before September.

I agree - my guess is that it'll open with the December timetable change.

The local Devon press have run an article about a recent stakeholder visit to the station to view the progress being made.  There's quite a good photo of the site halfway through the article after the "group photo" which doesn't show much....unless you are big on hi-viz work wear.
A vague winter opening date is mentioned which surprises me given the progress clearly achieved so far.  Here's the link:

Exeter's £16M Marsh Barton Railway Station is finally ready to open

The long-delayed project is finally ready to welcome its first train.

The new Marsh Barton Railway Station in Exeter will open to the public on Tuesday, July 4, it has been confirmed. The £16 million project will be served by hourly Great Western Railway services between Paignton and Exmouth, with half-hourly services at peak times.

The first train service at the new station will be the 05:34 Exeter St Davids to Paignton, calling at 0538.

I've just realised how close the station is to the Double Locks pub, where I had a very nice Sunday lunch a while back. If I went by train, I could go the extra pint.

The entourage has a dedicated, specially cleaned train for their trips to Marsh Barton and Dawlish, so expect yet another short formed train on the Devon Metro on top of the regular short forms today.

Special stop orders on scheduled trains, I understand.
