Tilbury Town
The up platform at Tilbury Town, seen from a departing C2C service from Fenchurch Street to Southend Central via Ockendon, on 13th October 2019. The London, Tilbury & Southend Railway opened from a junction with the Eastern Counties Railway at Forest Gate to Tilbury Fort in 1854 but this station did not open until 15th June 1885 as Tilbury Dock. It was renamed Tilbury Town by the LMSR (who inherited the line, well outside its geographical territory, at the 1923 Grouping), on 3rd August 1934.
