North Fambridge railway station is on the Crouch Valley Line in the East of England, serving the village of North Fambridge, Essex. 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. Train services are operated by Greater Anglia.[1]

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 10 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 electrification of the line in 1986.[2] Electrification using 25 kV overhead line electrification (OLE) was completed on 12 May 1986.

As North Fambridge is at the midpoint of this single-track line, its double-track 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

All services at North Fambridge are operated by Greater Anglia using Class 720 EMUs.

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

On Sundays, the service is reduced to hourly in each direction.
