Harwich Town sign

Harwich Town station is the end of the line and definitely a bit sleepy, but on the other hand the same can be said for Harwich International. The town of Harwich sits on a peninsula and the railway goes right into it, with the station alongside its end. The approach to the station from the east of the line:
