Crowlands railway station was a proposed station on theGreat Eastern Main Line nearRomford, Essex, to be sited betweenChadwell Heath andRomford, just west of Jutsums Lane where the railway passes over the road on a narrow bridge.
It was first proposed in 1900 by theGreat Eastern Railway and platform foundations were laid, but construction was never completed.[1] TheLondon and North Eastern Railway, which inherited the route after the1923 grouping of railway companies, resurrected the plans for Crowlands station in 1935 as part of their electrification plans,[1] but nothing came about and the plans were ultimately shelved after theSecond World War. Thus, today there is a relatively significant distance of 2 miles 31 chains (3.8 km) on the line between Chadwell Heath and Romford stations.
The platform foundations at Crowlands are still in existence in the undergrowth, although they are not visible from street level as the railway is on an embankment. Railway infrastructure in the area that was completed included asignal box just west of the station site, which closed in 1949 as part of theShenfield electrification project, as well an overhead electrification depot, to the east of Jutsums Lane.
