Weeley railway station serves the village of Weeley in Essex, England. It is located on the Sunshine Coast Line, a railway operated by Greater Anglia (the brand name of London Eastern Railway Ltd) that links Colchester to Clacton-on-Sea.
There is one train to Colchester and one to Walton-on-the-Naze each hour, 6 days a week (Monday to Saturday only)
The station was opened on 8 January 1866 by the Tendring Hundred Extension Railway, a subsidiary of the Great Eastern Railway.[1]
As of February 2006[update], the original station house is almost derelict but is available to let. The original level crossing beside the station was replaced by a flyover (from which the photograph was taken) as part of the first Weeley by-pass in the 1930s.
During 2011, the station received a minor facelift, which included the addition of a disabled entry ramp with hand rails, updated warning signs and a cleanup.
Due to its low usage, the station is closed on Sundays and all trains pass through without stopping.
