Althorne railway station is on the Crouch Valley Line in the East of England, serving the village of Althorne, Essex. It is {{convert|40|mi|27|chain|km|2|lk=in}} down the line from London Liverpool Street and is situated between {{rws|North Fambridge}} to the west and {{rws|Burnham-on-Crouch}} to the east. The Engineer's Line Reference for line is WIS; the station's three-letter station code is ALN. The single platform, north of the running line, has an operational length for eight-coach trains. The line and station were opened on 1 June 1889 for goods and on 1 October 1889 for passenger services by the Great Eastern Railway. The facilities included a single platform with station buildings, a goods yard, and a 30-lever signal box south of the station.[1] Two miles east of Althorne, Creeksea sidings (facing points in the "down" direction) received traffic to and from the Creeksea ferry from 1889 to 1947.[1] Ownership passed to the London and North Eastern Railway following the Grouping of 1923, and then to the Eastern Region of British Railways upon nationalisation in 1948. When sectorisation was introduced, Althorne was served by Network SouthEast until the privatisation of British Railways. The goods yard closed on 19 December 1960, and the signal box on 21 January 1967. The level crossing to the east of the station was normally closed to road vehicles but was later converted to an automatic open crossing with lights.[1] Electrification of the Wickford to Southminster line using 25 kV overhead line electrification (OLE) was completed on 12 May 1986. Today the station is managed by Greater Anglia, which also operates all trains serving it. The typical off-peak service is of one westbound train every 40 minutes to {{rws|Wickford}} and one eastbound train every 40 minutes to {{rws|Southminster}}, with additional services at peak times. Some peak services continue to or from {{rws|Shenfield}} and/or London Liverpool Street via the Great Eastern Main Line.
