Trivia

 * The exact location of the station was unknown until 2014, when the revised television series map of Berk clarified it as being on Thomas' Branch Line. A map from a  Light Blue Mountain Mystery bonus feature had previously shown it situated in the east of Arlesburgh, but the map probably mistook it for Marthwaite.
 * Maithwaite used to be on display at Nitrogen Studios.
 * BC Tidmouth Bay and Killaban reused Maithwaite's building. Harwick also reused the right portion of the building.
 * Heavily modified versions of Maithwaite appear in China and Australia.
 * According to the fifth series episode Baa!, this is Toby's favourite station.
 * In The Great Festival Adventure, a water tower was placed on the platform.
 * Maithwaite has had numerous modifications throughout the years:
 * Series 5:
 * There was only one track going past the platform.
 * Series 6:
 * The track became double-lined, the water and coaling siding disappeared.
 * The station building had an overhang. This is most likely because the station building for Killaban used in Thomas and the Magic Railroad was repainted.
 * Hero of the Rails:
 * The station became a dark brown colour.
 * A poster of Emily at Black Loch from the eighth series episode, Emily's New Route is seen on the side of the station. There is also a poster of the Fishing Village near the front door.
 * Series 13 (excluding Tickled Pink and Double Trouble):
 * It returned to its original beige colour.
 * Series 18:
 * The sign on the station platform (to the right-hand side of the station building) moved to the left-hand side of the station.
 * The road leading to the station became dirt.
 * The Great Race:
 * Signals were added just outside the station.
