Editing Witham (section)

==Transport==
The town is served by [[Witham railway station]], situated on the [[Great Eastern Main Line]] operated by [[Abellio Greater Anglia]]. Trains take approximately 40–45 minutes to reach {{stn|Liverpool Street}}. The station is also the junction for a [[Braintree Branch Line|branch line]] to [[Braintree railway station (England)|Braintree]]. Another branch line went from [[Witham-Maldon branch line|Witham to Maldon]], but this has now been dismantled having been closed to passengers in 1964.

Witham is situated on the [[A12 road (Great Britain)|A12]] [[trunk road]] between [[Chelmsford]] and [[Colchester]], which was originally a [[Roman road]] from London to Colchester. The A12 used to run in a straight line through the middle of the town, but a by-pass now completely avoids the town.

Witham is on [[National Cycle Route 16]].

The town has a large number of residents who commute to work in London because of its excellent transport links. This is evident by Witham railway station's appearance within the 150 busiest railway stations in Great Britain,<ref>Office of Rail Regulation. http://www.rail-reg.gov.uk/upload/xls/station-usage-2006-07.xls. Station usage Excel sheet (2006–07). Retrieved 15 July 2008.</ref> which would not be expected based on the town's population alone.
