At Platform 1 is a Greater Anglia Class 755/4 bi-mode multiple unit train, set to work the 0748 departure to Cambridge. This is one of the very small number of passenger workings using the eastern side of the triangle at Manningtree Junctions. The impressive station buildings, opened in 1883 as Harwich Parkeston Quay, are a reminder of the importance of the continental passenger traffic that passed through the station before the advent of air services. It included hotel accommodation as well as normal station facilities.
