Platform 1 is part of what was Dartmouth Railway Station, built in 1864.
While there has never been a railway line at the site, it was possible to book through tickets to and from Dartmouth via the office, accessing trains by travelling on Dartmouth Passenger Ferry to or from Kingswear Railway Station on the opposite bank of the River Dart. Accordingly, the office was classed as a "railway station" for ticketing purposes.
Dartmouth Steam Railway, a heritage line, now runs trains from Paignton to Kingswear and a ferry operates across the River Dart.
Originally the Station Restaurant, an English style café, and then Platform 1, a Champagne Bar & Restaurant, now in March 2023 it is Embankment Bistro.
