Marks Tey railway station is on the Great Eastern Main Line (GEML) in the East of England, serving the village of Marks Tey, Essex. It is down-line from London Liverpool Street and on the GEML is situated between to the west and and to the east. Marks Tey is also a junction of the Sudbury Branch Line where the branch joins the GEML. Its three-letter station code is MKT. The station was opened in 1844 by the Eastern Counties Railway. It is currently operated by Abellio Greater Anglia, which also runs all trains serving the station. ==History== The station opened in 1844 for services on the Great Eastern Main Line, and the Sudbury Branch Line followed in 1849. From that date until 1889 the station was known as Marks Tey Junction. The branch is only accessible to trains travelling from up towards London. The opening of the Colne Valley and Halstead Railway off the Sudbury branch in 1860 and the extension of the branch beyond Sudbury via the Stour Valley Railway in 1865 to added importance to Marks Tey as a junction, allowing through-trains from Colchester. These passenger services were gradually cut back and the closure of the Sudbury to Cambridge link in March 1967 saw the end of through running. An 1897 survey shows sidings on the up-side at the Colchester end of the main line platform but the main concentration of sidings including a goods shed and a turntable are on the down-side at the Colchester end primarily servicing the branch line.〔 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「Marks Tey railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
