Cressing railway station is on the Braintree Branch Line in the East of England, serving the villages of Cressing and Black Notley, Essex. It is {{convert|42|mi|75|chain|km|2|lk=in}} down the line from London Liverpool Street via {{rws|Witham}} and it is situated between {{rws|White Notley}} to the south and {{rws|Braintree Freeport}} to the north. Its three-letter station code is CES. The platform has an operational length for nine-coach trains. The station is currently managed by Abellio Greater Anglia, which also operates all trains serving it. HistoryThe Maldon, Witham & Braintree Railway (MWBR) was authorised in 1846 but prior to its opening the company was absorbed by the Eastern Counties Railway (ECR).[1] The line opened for goods traffic on 15 August 1848, and for passenger services on 2 October 1848;[1] it was double-tracked throughout until the Crimean War. The station, originally named Bulford, was also opened on 2 October 1848. It was renamed Cressing on 1 February 1911.[2] It is suggested{{by whom|date=January 2012}} that the large crossing gates were present because Cressing had a passing loop until after World War I, and retained the loop for freight purposes until goods traffic ceased on the line in 1964. The station was owned by the Great Eastern Railway (GER) from 1862 to 1923, but as the building does not show typical GER architectural canopy support features, it is likely that it pre-dates the GER. Although there does not appear to be any obvious evidence (as in the case of Maldon East & Heybridge which displays "MWB" on the gulleys at the top of its downpipes) that it was built when the line first opened, that is a possibility and if so would make it the only surviving MWBR structure on this railway.{{or|date=January 2012}} There was originally a signal box on the platform, next to the level crossing. This was removed and relocated to the preserved Colne Valley Railway at Castle Hedingham in the 1970s. ServicesThe typical off-peak service is of one train per hour to {{rws|Braintree|England}} and one to {{rws|Witham}}, where many Monday-Saturday services continue onto the Great Eastern Main Line to London Liverpool Street. On Sundays services terminate at Witham and passengers travelling on towards London must change for a connecting main line train. Services are typically formed by Class 321 electric multiple units, but occasionally Class 360 units may be utilised.
