Tiptree railway station was on the Kelvedon and Tollesbury Light Railway, serving the village of Tiptree, Essex, England. The station was 3 miles 39 chains (5.61 km) from Kelvedon Low Level railway station.[1]
The station was opened in 1904. It was closed, along with the rest of the line for passengers, on 7 May 1951.[2]
A short siding ran from the station into the Wilkin & Sons jam factory for freight traffic.[3] The section between the jam factory and Kelvedon, through the closed Tiptree station, continued in use for freight traffic until 28 September 1962.[4]
