Welcome  to  Thurrock’s  transport,

both historical & present day

With more than 40 pages...well over 500 images...and featuring 25 bus, rail, and ferry
companies as well as contact details for local taxi firms; this is my website - all about
public transport in Thurrock, from 1970 right up to the present day. I haven’t covered
anything prior to 1970 mainly because information starts to get a little thin on the
ground before that year.

I very much hope you enjoy your visit here, and that you find it both informative and
useful, whether it be to stir up memories of the past or to get an up to date picture of
what’s being provided by public transport in Thurrock today.

I should also mention how this website came about....I have been involved in public
transport since 1994, first as a bus driver, mainly in the Thurrock area with companies
such as Thameside, Harris Bus, Arriva and Town & Country; I’m currently a tube driver
with London Underground. It was whilst driving my car along London Road in Grays, and
commenting on something or other as we passed the Arriva bus depot, that a friend of
mine said “why don’t you make website?”.............Well Leanne, this is the result!
 

If you don’t know where Thurrock is, well.......it’s a local authority area found in the
South West corner of Essex. Perhaps you’ve heard of the Lakeside shopping centre?
How about Tilbury Fort? Maybe you’ve used the Dartford river crossing [on the M25]?

Perhaps this map will help:
