Audley End railway station

Audley End railway station serves the small village of Wendens Ambo and the nearby town of Saffron Walden. The station is named after the manor of Audley End in Essex, England. There was formerly a platform at the east end of the station (52.0043°N, 0.2077°W) for a branch line to Saffron Walden, though this was closed in 1964.

History
Opened by the Eastern Counties Railway, it was absorbed into the Great Eastern Railway, becoming part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed on to the Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.

The station was served by Network SouthEast when Sectorisation was introduced in the 1980s, until the Privatisation of British Railways.

The station name was changed on signs to Audley End for Saffron Walden in 2012. Sir Alan Haselhurst, MP for Saffron Walden officially unveiled the re-branded signs at Audley End station on Friday 25 May at 11.30.
