Nature Study Centre

The Nature Study Centre is a re-opened station on the Badger Line. An old coach is situated in an abandoned siding above an embankment near the station and is used to spot badgers without disturbing them.

History
The station - along with the line it is situated on - were once closed down, until Thomas was re-routed along the line after a points failure. He later came back to the station with the Fat Controller and a wildlife expert who was a friend of Thomas' driver. The expert determined that the carriage was the perfect place for spotting badgers.

After word of the badgers spread amongst the other engines and nature-lovers, so the Fat Controller decided to re-open the old line and the station. The old station was restored as a nature study centre, while the coach was converted into a hide where people could observe the badgers without disturbing them.
