The National Rail timetable specifies a one-minute connection between Walton and Clacton line trains at Thorpe-le-Soken (and this quick connection is scheduled regularly throughout the day).

We make the advertised connection into the 2313 AGA departure to Colchester arriving at 2338 Thursday evening.
