South Line - Southern Midlands / Re: Parattah

Last post by admin - December 13, 2025, 06:36:44 AM

Parattah, in the Tasmanian Midlands, was an important stop on the Tasman Limited service. The railway town was established in 1879 following construction of the Tasmanian Main Line Railway through the region. A short branch line was built to Oatlands in 1885. The large Tudor-style hotel was built in the 1880s for the refreshment of passengers on the Express services between Hobart and Launceston. With the advent of buffet cars on passenger services business slowed but it remained a licenced hotel until after passenger trains stopped in 1978. The Wynyard-bound Tasman Ltd passed here at about 1130 (1978 timetable) whilst the south-bound train arrived at about 3.55pm (1978 timetable).
