Frinton-on-Sea railway station is on the Walton section of the Sunshine Coast Line, a branch of the Great Eastern Main Line, in the East of England, serving the seaside town of Frinton-on-Sea, Essex. It is down-line from London Liverpool Street〔http://www.s-r-s.org.uk/railref/ref-ge.html〕 and is situated between to the west and to the east. Its three-letter station code is FRI. The station was opened by the Tendring Hundred Railway, a subsidiary of the Great Eastern Railway, in 1867. It is currently managed by Abellio Greater Anglia, which also operates all trains serving the station. ==History== The station was opened with the name Frinton by the Tendring Hundred Railway (THR) in 1867. The Great Eastern Railway (GER) acquired the THR and the adjacent Clacton-on-Sea Railway on 1 July 1883. The Wivenhoe & Brightlingsea line was absorbed by the GER on 9 June 1893. The line became part of the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) in 1923 and then the Eastern Region of British Railways in 1948 following nationalisation of the railways. The station is immediately to the west of a level crossing that provides road access to Frinton. Residents of the town who live inside the gates of the crossing attach a particular status to this fact. These wooden gates were, until 2009, the only manually-operated level crossing gates on the line. The level crossing is now protected by a barrier system. The station's name was changed to Frinton-on-Sea in 2007.〔(Changes to National Rail timetable from Sunday 20 May 2007 ) National Rail.
