Frinton-on-Sea railway station serves the town of Frinton-on-Sea in Essex, England. The station is immediately to the west of a level crossing that provides road access to Frinton. Residents of the town who live 'inside' the gates of the level crossing attach a particular status to this fact. These wooden gates were until April 2009 the only manually operated level-crossing gates on the Sunshine Coast Line. The level crossing will now be protected by a barrier system which has been subject to much scrutiny by local residents.
The station's name was changed from Frinton to Frinton-on-Sea in May 2007.

Famous quotes containing the words railway and/or station:
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“...I believe it is now the duty of the slaves of the South to rebuke their masters for their robbery, oppression and crime.... No station or character can destroy individual responsibility, in the matter of reproving sin.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
