Tilbury Town Station
Tilbury Town station shows how you can take a basic station and by trying hard can make it acceptable to most visitors.
I never visited the station in say the nineteen-sixties, but I suspect it is a lot better now!
I very much liked the step-free bridge that is available to everybody who wants to cross the line easily and safely, whether they intend to travel on the trains or not.
What I didn’t like was that the A1089 road outside the station, from where you walk to Tilbury Fort or the Ferry Terminal, as it is a race-track for heavy trucks.
The Google Map shows Tilbury Town station and its position with respect to the Port, the London Cruise Terminal, the Ferry Terminal and Tilbury Fort.
Tilbury
Tilbury Town station is at the top of the map by the A1089 road and the London Cruise Terminal is on the river. Conveniently there is a cruise ship alongside.
The railway to Tilbury Riverside station, which was next to the London Cruise Terminal was removed in 1992.
I would suspect that quite a few movers and shakers in the Tilbury area, feel that the closure of Riverside station was something that shouldn’t have been done, when they look back.
