Mistley is a railway station serving the village of Mistley, in Essex, England. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by National Express East Anglia. It is situated on the Mayflower Line.
It is served by local trains on the electrified branch line between Manningtree and Harwich Town.
It was opened by the Eastern Union Railway in 1854 and the brick-built two-storey Italianate station building (not now in railway use) was probably designed by Frederick Barnes.[1]
A PERTIS self-service ticket machine is available, located at the entrance to the eastbound platform.
There is a siding on the up side at the country end and a spur with a steep incline down to Mistley Quay on the down side at the country end. At the West or London end of the downside there are several sidings which were for movements to and from the malt works.
There was a signal box at the west end of the down platform, which having been taken out of service was rescued by the East Anglian Railway Museum. It is a Grade 1 listed building and today is again fully operational at the E.A.R.M at Chappel and Wakes Colne.
