About

North Fambridge railway station is on the Crouch Valley Line running from Wickford.

The station serves the village of North Fambridge and is located 37 miles (60.09 km) from London Liverpool Street and is currently operated by Greater Anglia.

The station opened on 1 June 1889 for freight traffic and on 1 October 1889 for passenger traffic by the Great Eastern Railway (GER). The station has two platforms and is the only passing place to allow for two trains to use the line at the same time. Historically there was also a goods yard, cattle pens, and a signal box (which closed in December 1985).

The original footbridge was replaced to enable the electrification of the line in 1986, with the line being fully electrified on 12 May 1986.

In 1923, the line and station passed to the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) following the 1923 Grouping of railway operators across the UK. It then passed to the Eastern Region of British Railways (BR) upon nationalisation in 1948.

Shortly after electrification, the station and line were operated by Network Southeast until British Rail was fully privatised.

The typical off-peak service is of one train every 40 minutes to Wickford, with additional services at peak times. Some peak services continue to or from Shenfield and/or London Liverpool Street via the Great Eastern Main Line. On Sundays, the service is reduced is to hourly.

The station is unstaffed with ticket machines, customer information system and 24-hour help point.

Car parking is available and must be paid for online or by phone. Daily, night time, full-week and annual rates are available.
