It would then replace the existing single-track railway that runs between Upminster and Grays, onto Tilbury. Finally, the line would go under the Thames out to the coast, in Gravesend, where it would link in with previously proposed extension betweenFor example, a large flyover would be needed to link trains between Upminster and Romford as trains arrive at different sides of the station.
The council adds that its vision is to ‘realise the full potential’ of existing lines in the short to medium-term, while adding capacity through new rail lines would be a long-term project.None of the issues surrounding cost and engineering work needed are highlighted in the report from Thurrock council.
