Takeley railway station was a station serving the Hockerill area of Takeley in Bishop's Stortford, England.
Services Began on the 7th November 1910 and ended on the 3rd March 1952.
The station along with almost all the intermediate stations on the Bishop's Stortford-Braintree branch were little used. The station is extremely close to the station Stane Street, so it was it was very little used. Takeley had a single platform on the north side of the line. There was a substantial brick building including station masters house, booking office, waiting room and lamp room. There was a small goods yard, also on the north side with a 240' siding used mainly by coal merchants. A second siding also served a D.A. Fyfe and Sons warehouse. A signal box was located on the up side of the line. Although the station closed to passengers in 1952 August Bank Holiday excursions continued to use the line until 1964.
It closed to passengers along with the rest of the Branch because of little use.[1]
