Shoeburyness railway station

Shoeburyness is arranged in a through-station layout despite being a terminus. It was opened on 1 February 1884 by the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway. As a result of this layout, the station has step-free access from the town's high street to all of its platforms. Platforms 1 and 2 have an operational length for thirteen-coach trains and Platform 3 an operational length for nine-coach trains.[2] A connection exists to the Ministry of Defence site nearby at Pig's Bay, to the east over a level crossing on the high street, and extensive carriage sidings exist to the west comprising 31 sidings.[2]

The ticket office is equipped with the TRIBUTE ticket issuing system. The station has sheltered bicycle storage, a taxicab rank, and a car park.[3]

The station was renovated in January 2013 to improve customer safety, security and facilities for the c2c customers.[4]

When the London Underground's District line operated a seasonal non-stop excursion train service between 1910 and 1939 through to the Southend area, Shoeburyness was the terminus.[5]

The typical off-peak service frequency is:

• 4 tph (trains per hour) to London Fenchurch Street, of which:
  • 2 tph call at all stations via Basildon;
  • 2 tph call at selected stations only via Basildon.

On weekends there are some services that run to/from Liverpool Street station via Stratford and some that run via Tilbury Town railway station.

All services are operated by c2c who use British Rail Class 357 and British Rail Class 387 trains.
