'''East Tilbury railway station''' is on a loop line of the [[London, Tilbury and Southend line]], serving the village of [[East Tilbury]], Essex. It is {{convert|25|mi|7|chain|km}} down the line from [[Fenchurch Street railway station|London Fenchurch Street]] via {{rws|Rainham|Essex}} and it is situated between {{rws|Tilbury Town}} and {{rws|Stanford-le-Hope}}. Its three-letter station code is ETL. The station and all trains serving it are operated by [[c2c]].

==History==

==Places of Interest==

It was opened on 7 September 1936 as a [[halt station]] intended to serve workers at the nearby [[Bata Shoes|Bata Shoe Company]], which paid for the construction of the platforms. Initially, trains only stopped in rush hour. The halt was upgraded to full station status in January 1949. Increasing patronage at East Tilbury led to the closure in 1967 of [[Low Street railway station|Low Street]], a minor station close by.

Private operation of the London, Tilbury and Southend line by [[c2c (1996–2025)|Trenitalia c2c]] ceased on 20 July 2025, with the new publicly owned operator [[c2c]] taking over.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Adams |first1=Lewis |title=Trains return to public ownership in south Essex |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gd48kz792o |website=BBC NEWS |publisher=BBC |access-date=25 July 2025 |url-status=live | archive-date=28 July 2025 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250728084129/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gd48kz792o }}</ref>
