Sanuki-Tsuda Station (讃岐津田駅, Sanuki-Tsuda-eki) is passenger railway station located in the city of Sanuki, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Shikoku and has the station number "T15".[1][2]

Lines

The station is served by the JR Shikoku Kōtoku Line and is located 27.7 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu.[3] Besides local services, the Uzushio limited express between Okayama, Takamatsu and Tokushima also stops at the station.[4]

Layout

Sanuki-Tsuda Station consists of a side platform and an island platform serving three tracks. The station building is unstaffed and serves only as a waiting room. Access to the island platform is by means of a footbridge. There is a siding which branches off track 1 and ends in a vehicle shed near the station building.[2][3][5]

History

Sanuki-Tsuda Station was opened on 21 March 1926 as the terminus of the Kōtoku Line when the track was extended eastwards from Shido. It became a through-station on 15 April 1928 when the track was further extended to Hiketa. At that time the station was operated by Japanese Government Railways, later becoming Japanese National Railways (JNR). With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[6][7]
