Maithwaite

Maithwaite is a station on Thomas' Branch Line. In the television series, the location of the station is quite a mystery. It started out as a small station on Thomas' branch line. But since the fifth season, it became a station on the mainline. Sometimes, it is situated between Knapford and Tidmouth and at others it seems to be situated between Gordon's Hill and Kellsthorpe. Since the CGI switchover, it appears to be back on Thomas' branchline.

In the fifth season episode Baa!, Toby mentioned it was his favourite station.
