Tilbury Riverside railway station is a closed railway station which was located in the town of Tilbury in the borough and unitary authority of Thurrock in Essex, England, south of a triangular junction on the railway between Tilbury Town and East Tilbury. It was opened on 13 April 1854 as part of the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway, providing an interchange with Tilbury Docks to take advantage of the increasing steamboat traffic in this area of the river Thames. The station was opened as ''Tilbury'', and it became ''Tilbury Riverside'' on 3 August 1934.〔 It used to provide an interchange with the Gravesend - Tilbury Ferry. Tilbury engine shed was sited in the triangular junction to the north of Tilbury Riverside station. Most trains from Fenchurch Street via Tilbury Town would reverse at this station and continue to Westcliff and Benfleet, with a few to/from Fenchurch Street starting or ending here, there was also a few services operating short to/from Upminster. However, in 1986 London trains ceased calling here and the services had been shortened to only operate from Upminster to Tilbury Riverside, East Tilbury and Stanford-le-Hope. On 30 November 1992 the station was closed.〔 Many years prior to closure the station was only served by certain trains (the local service from Upminster via Grays) because the nearby Dartford Crossing and increased car ownership caused a decline in its importance as a passenger ferry terminal. The station can now be reached by a shuttle bus service from Tilbury Town railway station. The station is now an indoor car park for Tilbury passenger terminal. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tilbury Riverside railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
