LHR to Stratford, East London. Stay at Stratford hotel adjacent to Westfield Shopping Centre, then DLR (Docklands light railway to West Ham, then Tain to Tilbury Docks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, when we are asked these questions, we have no idea as to the persons budget. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island2Dweller Posted November 27, 2023 #7 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Suggest you get off the train at Grays, the stop before Tilbury. That's because there is a taxi office at Grays (for the approx 1mile leg to the terminal). Because of the way the roads are laid out (getting over the railway tracks), the driving distance from Grays is about the same as from Tilbury. Don't bother with any physical tickets - just use a contactless bank card or phone to pay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island2Dweller Posted November 28, 2023 #8 Share Posted November 28, 2023 You didn't say what day this will be. On many weekends, the c2c trains may use Liverpool Street as well as (or sometimes instead of) Fenchurch St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will keep an eye on schedules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
