Thorington railway station was a station in Thorrington, Essex on the line (now called the Sunshine Coast Line) from Colchester to Walton on the Naze and Clacton, opened in 1866 and closed in 1957. The station was situated in between Alresford and Great Bentley.[1] It was closed due to its close proximity to the much busier station at Great Bentley, just half a mile down the track.
