Elsenham railway station serves the village of Elsenham in Essex, England. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by 'one'.
The station is 57 km (35 ½ miles) north of London Liverpool Street on the West Anglia Main Line to Cambridge.
Although a small station, Elsenham is regularly featured in the news at both national and local level; usually for all the wrong reasons.
In December 2005, a train struck and killed two teenage girls at the manually operated level crossing between the staggered platforms. The girls had decided to cross the line by way of the crossing, not noticing the flashing red lights and klaxon sound that indicated that a train was approaching. Network Rail has responded to requests from the girls' families to erect a footbridge and other works that will make the crossing safer.
[edit] Service
There is an hourly service every day in each direction from Elsenham going towards Cambridge, northbound and London Liverpool Street southbound.
