Battlesbridge in 1961, seven years before the station buildings were demolished
The line and station were opened on 1 June 1889 for goods and on 1 October 1889 for passenger services by the Great Eastern Railway.[1] The station had a single platform with a station building, a goods shed, a goods yard including cattle pens, and a 34-lever signal box. The freight service was withdrawn on 4 October 1965; the goods loop and signal box were closed on 7 December 1966. All the station buildings were demolished in 1968.[1] Electrification of the Wickford to Southminster line using 25 kV overhead line electrification (OLE) was completed on 12 May 1986.
Battlesbridge station is currently managed by Greater Anglia, which also operates all trains serving it. The typical off-peak service is of one westbound train every 40 minutes to Wickford (with some peak-hour services continuing to Shenfield and/or London Liverpool Street) and one eastbound train every 40 minutes to Southminster. Since the platform is only long enough to accommodate eight carriages, any peak-hour trains formed of 12 coaches do not call at Battlesbridge.
