Wivenhoe railway station is on the Sunshine Coast Line, a branch of the Great Eastern Main Line, in the East of England, serving the small town of Wivenhoe, Essex. It is {{convert|56|mi|km}} down the line from London Liverpool Street[1] and is situated between Hythe to the west and Alresford to the east. Its three-letter station code is WIV. The station was opened by the Tendring Hundred Railway, a subsidiary of the Great Eastern Railway, in 1863. It has two platforms, a manned ticket office, and is currently operated by Abellio Greater Anglia, which also runs all trains serving the station. It is a short distance from the River Colne at Wivenhoe quay and its car park is the starting point of the Wivenhoe Trail, a cycle track that runs alongside the river to Colchester. HistoryWivenhoe station was opened on 8 May 1863 by the Tendring Hundred Railway, which was worked by the Great Eastern Railway. From July 1879 its name was spelled Wyvenhoe; in October 1911 it reverted to the original spelling, Wivenhoe.[2] A few hundred metres east of the station there was a junction for the single-track branch line to {{rws|Brightlingsea}}. This branch was opened in 1866 and closed as part of the Beeching cuts in 1964 and the tracks lifted. A bridge over Alresford Creek was also later demolished.
