Walton-on-the-Naze
321320, just arrived at the seaside terminus at Walton-on-the-Naze in Essex and waiting to return to Colchester via Colchester Town, on 18th September 2020. Sad to see that this is now reduced to a single platform at the end of the single-track branch from the Clacton line at Thorpe-le-Soken. Back in 1965, on a boyhood family holiday, both platforms were in use and the main building, dating from the 1867 opening, was open and fully staffed. A new building has been provided but on this day it was shut with no staff in evidence, apart from the driver and guard. On the left behind the trees is the site of the once-extensive goods yard.
