==History==
The line and station were opened in 1889 by the [[Great Eastern Railway]]. North Fambridge station is currently managed by [[Abellio Greater Anglia]], which also operates all trains serving it. The typical off-peak service is of one westbound train every 40 minutes to {{rws|Wickford}} and one eastbound train every 40 minutes to {{rws|Southminster}}, with additional services at peak times. Some peak services continue to or from {{rws|Shenfield}} and/or {{rws|London Liverpool Street}} via the [[Great Eastern Main Line]].
The line and station were opened for goods on 1 June 1889 and to passenger services on 1 October 1889 by the [[Great Eastern Railway]]. Facilities then included two platforms, both provided with buildings and linked by a footbridge; a goods yard including cattle pens; and a 30-lever [[signal box]], reduced to ten after 1966.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|title=Branch Lines to Southend and Southminster|last=Mitchell|first=Vic|publisher=Middleton Press|year=2010|isbn=978-1-906008-76-5|location=Midhurst Sussex}}</ref> The signal box was taken out of use on 1 December 1985 and demolished in February 1986.

It is 37 miles 27 chains (60.09 km) down the line from London Liverpool Street and is situated between South Woodham Ferrers to the west and Althorne to the east.

History

[edit]

The line and station were opened for goods on 1 June 1889 and to passenger services on 1 October 1889 by the Great Eastern Railway. Facilities then included two platforms, both provided with buildings and linked by a footbridge; a goods yard including cattle pens; and a 30-lever signal box, reduced to ten after 1966.[2] The signal box was taken out of use on 1 December 1985 and demolished in February 1986.

The original footbridge was replaced with a higher one prior to the overhead line electrification of the line, using 25 kV, in 1986.[2]

As North Fambridge is at the midpoint of this single-tracked line, its double-tracked configuration provides a passing loop to allow two trains to run on the line at any one time. The station was originally called Fambridge, with the code FAM, but this was changed to North Fambridge on 20 May 2007.

Services

[edit]

All services at North Fambridge are operated by Greater Anglia using Class 720 electric multiple units.

The typical off-peak service is one train every 40 minutes in each direction between Wickford and Southminster. During peak hours, some services continue beyond Wickford to and from Shenfield and London Liverpool Street. On Sundays, the service is reduced to hourly in each direction.[3]
