Bentley railway station, also known as Bentley Junction between 1849 and 1878,[2] was located in Bentley, Suffolk on the Great Eastern Main Line. It had two through mainline platforms and an end bay at the country end of the down line to handle services on the Hadleigh branch. The bay could accommodate five coaches.[3]
There were goods sidings on both the up and down sides of the station at the country or northern end and also sidings to a malthouse at the southern end of the station on the down side.[4]
It closed in 1966.
The site of the station is still clearly identifiable at the Station Road level crossing, and the former station building is now a private dwelling.
Just to the North of the station was the branch line to Hadleigh.
