The railway line to Cambridge was opened by the Eastern Counties Railway on 30th July 1845 at which date Elsenham station also opened. The station has staggered platforms on either side of the level crossing so that trains pass over the crossing before stopping at the station. This view is from the footbridge which was built in 2007 after two teenage girls were killed crossing the line in 2005 - see http://www.som.cranfield.ac.uk/som/dinamic-content/media/Healthcare%20Management/HDTM%20Research%20Briefing%209%20Elsenham%20Crossing.pdf The up platform is on the left.

The railway first came to Elsenham in 1845.

The down platform is north of the level crossing. During its comparatively brief existence, the Thaxted branch used the far side of the platform for its terminating passenger trains. Through running was not possible, the only connection being a reversal through the goods yard north of the level crossing.

Opened in 1845 by the Eastern Counties Railway on what is now the line from London Liverpool Street to Cambridge. From 1913 to 1952, this was the junction station for the branch line to Thaxted. View north west towards Newport (Essex) and Cambridge. The northbound platform can be seen in the distance, beyond the level crossing. This platform used to have a second edge to the right, roughly where the grass now is, for the Thaxted branch which used to curve away sharply to the right.

Part of the old station building is now run as a takeaway.
