Old Manor Station is a small station by an old manor house. It is located on an old disused line that branches off Thomas' Branch Line between Dryaw and Elsbridge.
History
Oliver discovered the abandoned station here after being diverted while taking the mail train and crashing into the old shed just past the station. Sir Topham Hatt had plans to restore the manor house for visitors.[1]
Bertie and Sir Topham Hatt later raced past the station to try and catch up with Percy's runaway trucks.

Trivia
- The station model has been reused several times throughout the television series. These include:
- The lock or handle on the manor's gate is a piece from a truck's brake assembly.
- The old mansion next to the station was reused as a house in the village at Upper Toryreck.
- In 35mm open matte film scan prints of Thomas and the Magic Railroad, the Old Manor Station appears zooming out to a much farther distance.
- In the first draft of Oliver's Find, the Fat Controller names the manor "Oliver House" in Oliver's honour. Additionally, instead of the station and manor being restored together, the manor was instead going to be dismantled and rebuilt at a new seaside pier, a plot point which was supposed to carry over to Horrid Lorry.
