The “Sunshine Coast Line”

The line from Colchester (North) to Clacton-on-Sea is an electrified double track railway serving the villages of Wivenhoe, Alresford, Great Bentley, Weeley and Thorpe-le-Soken. The station of Hythe serves the eastern districts of Colchester and is the nearest station to Essex University. At Colchester there is a short branch to Colchester Town serving the town centre. From Thorpe-le-Soken there is the single line branch to the coastal resort of Walton-on-the-Naze, also serving the village of Kirby Cross and the seaside town of Frinton-on-Sea.

Traffic on the line is passenger only. There is currently no parcels or freight transported on these routes. Passenger traffic is generally commuter-based to Colchester and London, but also to other areas of employment like Ipswich and Chelmsford. Schools and colleges in Colchester help to increase traffic at peak times. Shoppers in the area generally travel to Colchester Town. The beach resorts of Clacton-on-Sea, Frinton-on-Sea, and Walton-on-the-Naze attract holiday traffic in the summer months.
