Tidmouth Station

HISTORY
Tidmouth Station started life as a small terminus station for the Tidmouth, Knapford, & Elsbridge light railway in 1881.

When the S&M and the W&S planned to merge with the Tidmouth, Knapford, and Elsbridge light railway in 1901, The W&S Director told Bertram Hatt to make the station larger if it was going to be the main station of the NWR.

The Renovated Tidmouth Station opened on the 1st April 1914, a few months after the opening of the NWR.

In the end, Bertram Hatt decided to have the headquarters at Vicarstown. Vicarstown stayed as the Headquarters of the NWR until 1925, when the LMS allowed NWR Passenger services come into their station at Barrow. Apart from the Bombing of Tidmouth station in 1939, where all the engines were moved back to Vicarstown, Tidmouth Station has been the Headquarters for the NWR ever since.
