Having just arrived with the 09.00 service from Manningtree 321320

will soon work the 09.28 return service. The train is seen standing at Harwich Town's sole platform with the rather grand station building to the right. The status of this station is somewhat diminished from what it once was when Harwich town once boasted its own port facilities that included the loading of complete trains on to ferries to cross to the continent. This was until ferry services moved to the nearby and much larger Parkstone Quay.
