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)
“When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
