HYTHE (ESSEX) RAILWAY STATION

:''This article is about the railway station at Hythe in the County of Essex. For other railway stations with similar names, see Hythe railway station.''
'Hythe (Essex) railway station' serves the eastern areas of Colchester in Essex, England. To the west of the station there is a triangle of lines with three junctions. The two lines lead to Colchester Town and Colchester. The three junctions are known as Hythe Junction, East Gates Junction (at the northern extremity of the triangle), and Colne Junction (at the western extremity). East Gates Junction has a manned signal box and a busy level crossing over a major road into the town of Colchester.
There are still sidings present at Hythe, although these are not in use, and there was once a short branch to Hythe quay which crossed the River Colne adjacent to the station by a small girder bridge, which is still in situ. There is no evidence today of the former quayside tracks.
