Kellsthorpe Road (RWS)

Kellsthorpe Road or just Kellsthorpe is a town on Sodor. Its station is located on the Main Line and serves as the junction station for the Kirk Ronan Branch Line.

History
The town of Kellsthorpe gets its name from Thorkell of Norwich. He and Godred Crovan fought on opposite sides at the Battle of Stamford Bridge (1066). Both were wounded and struck up a friendship afterwards. When Saxon resistance to William I collapsed in 1067, Thorkell marched his men across to the Lancashire coast. They were welcomed in Sodor by Jarl Ogmund, and granted land in return for help when required in the defence of the Island.

Thorkell's descendants, the Kellson family, still live here and are well known on the Island. Many of the towns other inhabitants can also trace their lineage back to Thorkell's men. The station is inconveniently located about 2.5 miles away from the town of Kellsthorpe.

James' bootlace incident happened a mile east of the station, while Edward once caught a runaway James west of the station. Donald and Douglas rescued Henry from a snowdrift also west of the station and Henry started his "super-rescue" at a signal box and level crossing here.

The station consists of two platforms connected by a footbridge, with the northern platform having the station building.
