October 25th 1990 was quite a significant date for bus companies in Thurrock - it was the
date Lakeside shopping centre opened. It was the largest of it’s kind in Europe, though it’s
since lost that title - that said, combined with the retail park, it is now the largest shopping
area in a single location in Europe.
Many bus routes were diverted or extended to the shopping centre, and it certainly
rejuvenated bus travel within Thurrock.
