Knapford is the main town and the big train station in the children's television series Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends.

The engines Gordon also pulls his Express out from there every day. Other engines seen at this station include James, Edward, Henry, Thomas, and Percy.

Knapford was introduced in Season 1 and has been in all seasons but Season 5. In the original Railway Series books, the main town on the island of Sodor and the big station was not Knapford but Tidmouth.

In the books Knapford Station is the junction for Thomas's branch line there is also has a goods only station at Knapford Harbour where Percy works. On the various maps of Sodor which are based on the books Knapford does indeed look larger than Tidmouth and some show the main line ending here but according to the Rev. Awdry's "research" into Sodor's history Tidmouth is the larger town and terminus of the main line.

In the tv series the engine sheds have been said to be at Tidmouth although they are sometimes shown to be close to Knapford station.
