Southminster railway station is on the Crouch Valley Line in Essex, England, serving the town of Southminster and other settlements on the Dengie Peninsula. It is 45 miles 42 chains (73.3 km) down-line from London Liverpool Street and is the eastern terminus of the branch line. Its three-letter station code is SMN. The preceding station to the west is Burnham-on-Crouch.
The station was opened by the Great Eastern Railway in 1889. The line and station were passed to the London and North Eastern Railway following the Grouping of 1923. It then passed to the Eastern Region of British Railways upon nationalisation in 1948. The branch was electrified in 1986. When sectorisation was introduced, Southminster was served by Network SouthEast until the privatisation of British Rail. A nuclear flask handling facility operated to the south of the station during the operation and decommissioning of Bradwell nuclear power station.
Today the station is managed by Greater Anglia, which also operates all trains serving it. The typical off-peak service is of one train every 40 minutes to Wickford, with additional services at peak times. Some peak services continue to or from Shenfield and/or London Liverpool Street via the Great Eastern Main Line. Services are typically formed of Southend-based Class 321 rolling stock, built by BREL York and first introduced in 1988.
