Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:More citations needed Шаблон:Infobox station Clacton-on-Sea railway station is one of the two eastern termini of the Sunshine Coast Line, a branch of the Great Eastern Main Line, in the East of England, serving the town of Clacton-on-Sea, Essex. It is Шаблон:Convert down the line from London Liverpool Street.[1] Its three-letter station code is CLT. The preceding station on the line is Шаблон:Rws.
The station was opened in 1882 with the name Clacton.[2] It is currently managed by Greater Anglia, which also operates all trains serving the station.
The branch diverges from the Great Eastern Main Line at Шаблон:Rws whence trains run to either Шаблон:Rws, Шаблон:Rws or Clacton-on-Sea. Clacton is on a spur from Thorpe-le-Soken which was built by the Clacton-on-Sea Railway and originally operated by the Great Eastern Railway. It opened some 15 years after the branch to Walton was opened.[3]
On 1 January 1923 the station passed to the London and North Eastern Railway following the 1921 Railways Act. After World War II and following nationalisation, it fell under the auspices of British Railways (Eastern Region).
Services were steam-operated until the line was electrified, with Clacton first seeing electric trains on 16 March 1959. Initially, the line was only electrified as far as Colchester, as part of British Railways' experiments with 25 kV AC electrification, rather than the previously preferred 1500 V DC system. Through electrified services to Liverpool Street were introduced on 7 January 1963.[4]
Clacton station has a sizeable concourse sheltered by a glazed roof. Platforms 1 and 3 have an operational length for ten-coach trains and platforms 2 and 4 have an operational length for twelve-coach trains.[5] There is a traction depot just outside the station, with some stabling sidings alongside the station itself.
Its name was changed to Clacton-on-Sea in May 2007.[6]
