Mistley railway station is on the Mayflower Line, a branch of the Great Eastern Main Line, in the East of England, serving the village of Mistley, Essex. It is 61 miles 14 chains (98.5 km) from London Liverpool Street and is situated between Manningtree to the west and Wrabness to the east. Its three-letter station code is MIS.
The station was opened by the Eastern Union Railway in 1854. It is currently operated by Abellio Greater Anglia, which also runs all trains serving the station.
Mistley was opened by the Eastern Union Railway in 1854 and the brick-built two-storey Italianate station building (now in alternative use) was probably designed by Frederick Barnes. The building is Grade II listed.
There is a siding on the "up" (London-bound) side at the country (east) end which earlier had additionally included a long curved incline which allowed goods movements down to the quayside using horse power. This was later replaced by a spur with a much steeper incline down to the quays on the down side at the country end. At the London (west) end of the "down" side there are several sidings which were for movements to and from the malt works.
There was a signal box at the London end of the "down" platform, which having been taken out of service was rescued by the East Anglian Railway Museum. It is a Grade I listed building and today is again fully operational at the EARM at Chappel & Wakes Colne.
As of December 2015[update] the typical weekday off-peak service on the line is one train per hour in each direction, although some additional services run at peak times. Trains operate between Harwich Town and Manningtree, calling at all stations, although some are extended to or from Colchester and/or London Liverpool Street.
