Service Patterns
On Mondays to Saturdays, two trains depart in each direction per hour. In the 'up' (London) direction, one of these trains call at Colchester (North), Marks Tey, Witham, Chelmsford, Shenfield, Romford and Stratford (trains towards London setting down only) before terminating at London Liverpool Street. The other 'up' train calls at Hythe and Colchester Town before terminating at Colchester (North).
In the 'down' (away from London) direction one train calls at Thorpe-le-Soken en route to Clacton-on-Sea. Another train calls at Alresford, Great Bentley, Weeley, Thorpe-le-Soken, Kirby Cross and Frinton-on-Sea before terminating at Walton-on-the-Naze.
On Sundays there is only one train per hour in each direction. The 'up' train calls at Colchester (North), Marks Tey, Witham, Chelmsford, Shenfield and Stratford (where London-bound trains set down) before terminating at Liverpool Street. The 'down' train calls at Alresford, Great Bentley and Thorpe-le-Soken en route to Clacton.
(Colchester Town, Hythe and Weeley are closed on Sundays. Stations on the Walton branch are accessed by an hourly Sunday shuttle from Thorpe-le-Soken.)

Famous quotes containing the words service and/or patterns:
“The socialism of our day has done good service in setting men to thinking how certain civilizing benefits, now only enjoyed by the opulent, can be enjoyed by all.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
—Joshua Meyrowitz, U.S. educator, media critic. “The Blurring of Public and Private Behaviors,” No Sense of Place: The Impact of Electronic Media on Social Behavior, Oxford University Press (1985)
