The Crouch Valley Line (sometimes referred to as the Southminster Branch)〔(Southminster Branch Line )〕 is a branch line off the Shenfield to Southend Line in Essex, in the east of England. It links in the west to in the east. The vast majority of services connect to or from the Great Eastern Main Line at , and its London terminus at Liverpool Street. The line is part of the Network Rail Strategic Route 7, SRS 07.05, and is classified as a London and South East commuter line.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Route 7 - Great Eastern )〕 The stations and passenger services on the line are currently operated by Abellio Greater Anglia. ==History== The route, which is in length, was opened to goods traffic on 1 June 1889 and to passengers on 1 July 1889, by the Great Eastern Railway (GER). It was electrified at 25 kV AC overhead in 1986. The number of trains on the Crouch Valley Line is restricted to two trains per hour (one in each direction) at weekends and two every 40 minutes on weekdays, with some additional services during peak times. This is due to the limited capacity available after the line was reduced to a single track in the 1960s as part of the Beeching cuts. It was also used to take waste and fuel rods from Bradwell nuclear power station to the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing facility in Cumbria, but this service has now ceased. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Crouch Valley Line」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
