Thorrington railway station was a station in Thorrington, Essex on the line (now called the Sunshine Coast Line) from Colchester to Walton on the Naze and Clacton, opened in 1867 and closed in 1957. The station was situated in between Alresford and Great Bentley. It was closed due to its close proximity to the much busier station at Great Bentley, just half a mile down the track.

History

Thorrington station was opened as part of the Tendring Hundred Railway in 1867. It was the only station on the Colchester to Clacton Line to close. In 2002 there was an unsuccessful campaign to re-open the station [1]
