Ely? First and last letters of 'Essex journey', though what the 'l' is doing in the middle I cannot say.

It's neither.
The first/last concept of @John Griffiths ' answer is heading in the right direction but needs expansion. The two stations close together as per @duncanp hold relevance too.

It's not East Tilbury. I'm trying to come up with a 2nd proper clue but for the moment think of a pair of stations and go from there.

Clue 1: The start and finish of a very short non-stop Essex journey.
Clue 2: The sounds of fowls, if the beginning is at the end?

No, the answer isn't Ingatestone.

However...

As to a short non-stop, that would probably be Colchester/Colchester Town. However they don't fit the second clue.
However Clacton might fit the second ("clac" -> "cluck") but is not a "short" distance away from other stations.

I'm struggling with a sensible 3rd clue so I'll give the answer in a couple of hours and if there's no correct response in the interim, I'll declare an open floor. Thanks.
Stonegate, however, contains part of the answer.

The answer was Shenstone - cherry picking from Shenfield/Ingatestone.
Open floor, please.
Open floor, please.
Paisley Gilmour Street - luckily spotted street in the anagram which narrows it down!
Nasty Old Nick initially holds satellite's path
Yes indeed - your turn
I wasn't aware there was a station at Ditchling, but in any case it is not the correct answer.
Think of a place of worship in Stranraer, and in French, Tonbridge.

Ninian Park?
The downtown church in Stranraer is St. Ninian's.

No it is not Ninian Park.
When I mentioned Stranraer and Tonbridge, I should have clarified that I mean the three letter codes for these stations.

Then again it might be Wellington (Shropshire). The short branch to Trench starts here.
It isn't Wellington, but the answer station has two words, and is in Shropshire.

Has to be Church Stretton (only 3 stations in Shropshire with 2 words).
It's Church as in a place of workship, also fills the STRetTON for the letter codes.
