Lympstone Commando station serves the Royal Marines commando training centre there, and thus public access is discouraged:

So I telephoned the MoD to get permission to take photos of the station. "You do know it's only a platform?" "Yes, I take lots of pictures of just platforms." Slightly amused, they agreed to let me step off the train and take a couple of pictures, alerting the sentry of what I would be doing.

Looking north along the platform, with the base entrance to the right:
