South Woodham Ferrers station in Essex, seen from 321 331 calling with a Crouch Valley Line service from Southminster to Wickford, on 5th April 2014. The station was just plain Woodham Ferrers until 2007 and was once the junction for Maldon, closed to passengers in 1939 and freight in 1953. It was also a passing place but the loop has been removed, leaving traces of an abandoned platform opposite, behind the train. The loop at Burnham-on-Crouch station has also been removed so that, for many years now, trains can only pass at the one remaining loop at North Fambridge station, as renamed from plain Fambridge in 2007.
