Tisted Railway Station
Tisted was a railway station on the Meon Valley line, which served the village of East Tisted, in Hampshire, England.
History
The station opened in 1903 as a stop on the Meon Valley Railway; it was closed in 1955 due to low patronage of the service. The main station building, designed by T. P. Figgis, is now a private residence.
The last train, hauled by two T9 class locomotives (30301 and 30732), left the station on 6 February 1955.
The site today
The station building survived the closure and is now a private residence. A British Rail Mark 1 carriage sits at the platform; this is one of the former Pilkington Glass Railtour set of coaches.
