Keith, in this diagram there are two short tracks on the left side above and below the incoming track. I assume the lower one is a headshunt but what was the purpose of the upper one? Was is a place to store a loco or car? 

 

I wish I had a definitive answer, maybe someone else does?

 

I hope A Brief History of Buckfastleigh Station is of some help.

Excellent resource, and it explains a lot. The short track in question may have been a coach dock probably added in the 1881-82 renovations. The writeup also addressed the short platform questions and how the entire station area was worked through the first half of the 20th century. Thanks for the link—Larry
