Alresford railway station and serves the village of Alresford, Essex, England. The station is on the Tendring Hundred Railway (also known as the Sunshine Coast Line) 12 km (7½ miles) south east of Colchester. It is owned by Network Rail and managed by National Express East Anglia.
As of February 2006, the original station house is almost derelict but is available to let. Tickets are sold from a small cabin close to Station Road. The ticket clerk is also responsible for moving the level crossing gates each time a train passes.
Prior to electrification of the line, the ticket clerk operated the level crossing gates, home and distance signals on both the up and down lines, his own level crossing gate lock and the one for the level crossing a short distance down the line, at all times that the signal box was unmanned. Edward Burbage fulfilled this duty for nearly 50 years.
[edit] Service
There is an hourly service daily northbound to Colchester and southbound to Clacton with some peak services to and from London Liverpool Street.
