Tidmouth Hault is a small seaside station on the west coast of the Island of Sodor, near Tidmouth.

History

The station at Tidmouth Hault was constructed alongside the opening of Duck's Branch Line.[1] It features two platforms connected via footbridge. It is raised above ground level, however the platforms are accessible via the entrance to one of the two station buildings.

Nearby the station is a small yard with an engine shed, as well as a hut for the workmen. When the hut burned down, Old Slow Coach briefly took its place.[2]

The station is mentioned to be near a port, but it is never seen.[3]
