Witham Station And The Braintree Branch Line

These pictures show Witham station and the Braintree Branch Line.

Note.

• All trains to and from Braintree call in platform 4 in Witham station, with  trains to London crossing over the Great Eastern Main Line, South of the station.
• Will direct services between Braintree and London be stopped to speed up main line services?
• Witham station has long platforms and lifts.
• The branch is tidy.
• There would appear to be space for a passing loop at Cressing.
• There are some inevitable level crossings.
• Braintree station is the best of the stations on the line.

The branch line coould certainly be improved to provide a two trains per hour service. I do suspect that most direct services to and from London could end, as this would probably ease timetabling of trains through Witham station.
