At peak times there is an increased service and some trains continue past Grays to Pitsea or Shoeburyness. Some late night and Sunday services towards central London terminate at Barking.

The station has ticket barriers.

Redevelopment

Although the station is relatively poorly served and located in an industrial area, there are extenive plans to redevelop the area as the London Riverside. Under these plans the station has become the southern terminus of phase one of the East London Transit[4] and it is proposed that an eastern extension of the Docklands Light Railway would terminate here.[5]
