Services

The typical off-peak service frequency is:

* 2 tph (trains per hour) to Fenchurch Street
* 2 tph to Grays

Location

The station is located on Ferry Lane, close to the junction with Wennington Road (the B1335). Major industrial works surround the station, as does Rainham Creek, a local industrial river. Access is provided from the station building to the Eastbound [out of London] platform: in order to access the London-bound platforms, a pedestrian bridge must be crossed. There are ticket barriers at the front entrance to the platform, restricting platform access to ticket-holders only.

A number of level crossings are situated on the line between Barking and Grays. The roads served by the crossings have now been severed by the Channel Tunnel Rail Link between Ebbsfleet and London St Pancras, but the level crossings are still "in situ", such as the one on Ferry Lane, Rainham. This can be used to access the London-bound platform. A number of footbridges and road bridges have been built to replace them.
