The hump in the road and what appears to be a concrete gate post on the right marks the spot. This was for the connection to the Thaxted branch, closed in 1953. Oddly, this link with the main line trailed in towards Cambridge, yet passenger services reached Elsenham station facing towards London. There was no physical link at Elsenham station between branch and main line.
