Bures
The Marks Tey to Sudbury line has done very well to survive for over 40 years since closure of the Sudbury-Cambridge section in March 1967. Shown here in April 1978 is the station at Bures with a Cravens/Gloucester hybrid DMU about to depart for Sudbury. To guarantee survival, the branch really needs a London facing junction at Marks Tey instead of the present one that faces Colchester. If built, electrification and through London services would surely follow.
