History
Jaywick Sands had a single platform built of wood, which was provided with a single wooden bench, palisade fencing and electric lamps. Jaywick Sands also (unlike Crossways) had a small wooden ticket-office, though most tickets were sold on the trains. Because the JMR had no turntable, the locomotives always ran tender-first into Jaywick Sands.[2]
The original route of the JMR closed in 1939, but in 1949, the lower half was briefly re-opened, running during the 1949 summer season only. The section in question would have been midway round the 180-degree curve, around half a mile from Jaywick Sands.[3]

gollark: No.
gollark: I guess so.
gollark: Anyway, if it did incorporate good tunneling and higher bitrate I could *also* use it as a particularly accursed VPN.
