Ockendon
The up (loop) platform buildings at Ockendon station, Essex, seen from 357035 calling at the down platform (on which the main building is situated) with a C2C service to Southend Central, on 13th October 2019. This single track line between Upminster and Grays was opened by the London, Tilbury & Southend Railway on 1st July 1892 and, despite being electrified in 1962, had only a shuttle service between the two ends of the line for very many years. The opening of a further station at Chafford Hundred, between Ockendon and Grays, in 1993 boosted passenger numbers on the line and it now has a regular all day service of trains between London Fenchurch Street and Southend Central.
