Tisted was a railway station on the Meon Valley line, which served the village of East Tisted, in Hampshire, England.[1]

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.[2]

The site today

The station building survived the closure and is now a private residence.[3] A British Rail Mark 1 carriage sits at the platform; this is one of the former Pilkington Glass Railtour set of coaches. [citation needed]
