{{National Rail in Thurrock}}
Being on the river and close to London, Thurrock is served with good communication links. The [[M25 London Orbital Motorway]], the railway line between Southend and London Fenchurch Street which provides direct access to Central London, the Port of Tilbury, and the nearby [[London City Airport]] make Thurrock an important international trade centre. There is a grass airstrip south of Bulphan village. A ferry for passengers on foot connects Tilbury with Gravesend on the southern bank of the River Thames.

Rail transport in the borough is provided by [[c2c]] with stations at:

*[[Chafford Hundred railway station]]
*[[East Tilbury railway station]]
*[[Grays railway station]]
*[[Ockendon railway station]]
*[[Purfleet railway station]]
*[[Stanford-le-Hope railway station]]
*[[Tilbury Town railway station]]
