Quick Facts Location, Local authority ...

The station was opened in 1892 by the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway (LTSR). Today, all passenger train services are operated by c2c, which also manages the station. Although the station is outside the London fare zones 1 to 6, it became part of the Oyster card pay-as-you-go network in 2010.[2]

History

The single-track line through the area was opened in 1892 by the LTSR as part of a branch from Romford to Grays via Upminster. By the late 20th century, service on the line had been reduced to a relatively infrequent shuttle between Upminster and Grays. However, service levels increased following the opening of a new station on the branch at Chafford Hundred and the shuttle train service was eventually extended beyond Upminster to Fenchurch Street in London and beyond Grays to Southend Central in Southend-on-Sea.

Services

The station has two platforms. As of the December 2023 timetable the typical Monday to Friday off-peak service is two trains per hour westbound to London Fenchurch Street and two eastbound to Southend Central.[3]

Connections

NIBS Buses route 269 and London Buses route 347 serve the station.[4]
