Cressing

An evening visit to Cressing on 27th May 1976 finds evidence of building work at the previously run down station. Unusually for such a branch line in the 1970s, electrification was under way and the platform was being upgraded and extended as one of the first stages. Electric trains finally replaced DMUs between Witham and Braintree in October 1977. [Ref query 521]
