Rainham station is located in Rainham, in the London Borough of Havering in East London. National Rail list it as Rainham (Essex)[1] due to it being previously in that county prior to boundary changes. The station is in Zone 6 and is managed and passenger train services are provided by c2c.
Rainham is between Dagenham Dock and Purfleet stations. The station was opened in 1854 as part of the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway.

[edit] Location
The station is located on Ferry Lane, close to the junction with Wennington Road (the B1335). Major industrial works surround the station, as does Rainham Creek, a local industrial river. Access is provided from the station building to the Eastbound [out of London] platform: in order to access the London-bound platforms, a pedestrian bridge must be crossed. There are ticket barriers at the front entrance to the platform, restricting platform access to ticket-holders only.
A number of level crossings are situated on the line between Barking and Grays. These have now been severed, but still in situ by the Channel Tunnel Rail Link between Ebbsfleet and London St Pancras. A number of footbridges and road bridges have been built to replace them.
