The Saffron Walden Railway was a branch of the Great Eastern Railway between Audley End and Bartlow on the Shelford to Haverhill line.

The line was opened between Audley End and Saffron Walden in 1865 and to Bartlow in 1866. From July 1958 the line was operated by railbuses until closure to passengers on 7 September 1964 and freight three months later.

At Audley End services served a separate platform, of which the building still remains in the current car park.
