THURROCK is set to benefit from a multi-million pound package of improvements to the two main train lines in south Essex.

Network Rail has launched a five year blueprint which will look at making train services more efficient and ease commuter overcrowding.

This includes extensions to platforms on the Tilbury loop and upgrades to overheard cables.

From the Yello Advertiser  Thursday, 19 February 2009

PLANS to launch the Oyster Card at four C2C stations in Thurrock are still facing delays.

The Oyster Pay As You Go scheme was due to be expanded to Chafford Hundred, Grays, Ockendon and Purfleet last summer. But while card readers have been installed since late 2007, they have still not been switched on.

The Thurrock Rail Users Group (TRUG) described the ongoing delays as very disappointing.

From the Echo 19.02.2009

MAN’s two-year campaign against a c2c rail fare discrepancy has sparked a meeting between train company bosses and Government officials.

The commuter, who has asked not to be named, claims passengers on the Shoebury to Fenchurch Street line are paying more to travel into London than people making the same journey out of the capital.

Department for Transport officials have been called in to decide if c2c is ripping off Essex passengers who buy single or return tickets to a London underground station.
