Corringham railway station : ウィキペディア英語版 | Corringham railway station
Corringham railway station served the villages of Corringham and Fobbing in Essex, England, between 1901 and 1952. ==History== The station was the terminus of the Corringham Light Railway. As opened, it had a cycle shed, male and female lavatories and an open-fronted shelter. There was also a small loading bank beyond the passenger platform. The buildings and platform were in red brick.〔Gotheridge 1985, p. 29〕 Initially, the platform's length was 150 ft. During the First World War, the platform was lengthened to 340 ft, owing to the increased number of workers travelling to the explosive factories at Kynochtown. The platform remained this length until closure.In later years, the station became very dilapidated and run-down, and suffered a sharp fall in passenger numbers after the introduction of buses. It closed in 1952 when the Vacuum Oil Company bought up the Coryton refinery and discontinued the passenger services.〔Kay 2008, p. 66〕
