Kirby Cross
Since the abolition of the short-lived crossing loop at Frinton-on-Sea, Kirby Cross is now the only crossing loop on the single track branch to Walton-On-The Naze in Essex from Thorpe-le-Soken on the Colchester to Clacton-on-Sea line. This is the platform for Walton seen from a service to Colchester Town calling at the opposite platform on 18th September 2020, even though no Walton-bound train was booked to cross here at this time of the evening. All the original platform buildings that I remember from the 1960s (See image 46517) have sadly been demolished and replaced with those ubiquitous and horrible bus stop style waiting shelters.
