One of the better kept stations, not only on the Mayflower Line, but throughout Essex. Planters along the platforms brighten the place with colourful flowers during all but the coldest months. The tiny red-brick, generic, Victorian era railway station also benefits from it's location aside the watermeadows meandering towards Dedham Vale & Flatford. In fact, the station itself is actually located in Lawford, something to bear in mind if your destination is actually Manningtree town, because that's a mile walk east. Because of the vicinity of so-called 'Constable Country', Manningtree Station receives many tourists intending to walk from there into Dedham or Flatford villages. As well as being a stop on the mainline between Ipswich & Colchester, Manningtree also serves as the main interchange station for the Mayflower Line, terminating @ Harwich town, another local tourist destination. Because this branchline is also a Freightliner track to Parkeston & the Haltermann Carless refinery, there's quite a complex junction & points system leading into Manningtree Station. From overhead this creates a distinctive triangular junction of tracks, quite a rare railway arrangement. An Amazon Hub Locker is accessible from the platform, opposite the toilet block door. The main platform has a notice board about local places to visit, as well as the true story of The Escaped Nun. The story of Margaret Mary Moult may sound stranger than fiction, but in 1909 she really did do a runner from the Old Hall Convent in East Bergholt, ending up at the station, but with no cash for the fare to London. The Station Master put her on the guard's van of early milk train, & earnt himself a moment of fame when the Escaped Nun's story hit the national tabloids. In the novel, Gallowglass, by Ruth Rendall, the central character, Sandor, is finished off by the author, through committing suicide by jumping from the platform at Manningtree, into the path of the non-stop, Norwich to London express...
Lovely little town got everything you need great views across the estuary nice pubs good restaurants to.
very nice station town never really had time to have alook at really enjoy the connection services to felixstowe and Harwich
What a particularly nice train station. Cafe/bar with nice tables inside and out. Clean waiting room and toilets. Exceptional view of the countryside across the tracks *****
Manningtree has a lot to offer, good places to eat, good shops and a lovely little beach area
Seems like a nice looking station with newly installed lifts to provide step free access to the platform towards Ipswich. Has toilets, a ticket office, cafe and a large car park however trains towards Harwich aren't very frequent, usually once per hour.
Decent little train station, can’t fault it
Really good waiting room with USB charging plugs available and great free WiFi which is great for some one like me. I also really like the new trains they are quite comfortable, have useful information boards, free WiFi and Fast charging plugs
Very poor experience with this station today. All the trains from Ipswich to Colchester were cancelled due to some problem with the overhead wiring- which is understandable. My main problem was that they said they had replacement buses to Colchester or Ipswich, however, I have been waiting for 45 minutes, and still a bus has not come. When I asked the staff at the station, they were not cooperative and were unhelpful- borderline rude to be honest! If I ever come here again I expect a big improvement.
There's a lovely warm waiting area here with very comfortable seating and air conditioning. The station is well serviced with disabled access and a refreshment bar.
