There was also a branch line from Kelvedon, through Tiptree, Tolleshunt D'arcy, Tollesbury then onto a small pier on the Blackwater. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tollesbury...ay_station
This was closed even before 1963 when Beeching got his hands on the rail network.
The 1950's OS map is useful for tracing those old lines which disappeared following the Beeching cuts.
I vaguely remember the old lines which left Huntindon station and curled all over the countryside.
