History
The station, which was opened by the Eastern Counties Railway in 1845, was known originally as Stansted. It was renamed in 1990 to avoid potential confusion with the forthcoming station at Stansted Airport, although a local resident, Joseph J. Green, had requested such a name change as early as 1890.[1]
The original station building features a ticket office and passenger information screens as well as the flip clock from the Network SouthEast period on the London-bound platform. Both platforms were extended to accommodate 12-coach trains in 2011.
