Funny old station. I was allowed into the station so I could meet my visitor, but most trains from London come in of the far side that is the Shoeburyness platform. I got a message to say 'I am here left the station and am waiting in front of the Pub'. Railway enployee said walk down the underpass and ask the man on the other side to let you out, he did this. I met my visitor but he would not let us back to where I had left my car. Trouble is two entrances/ exits and you cant' see both sides. Why not a proper bridge over and only one exit/entrance. It's the station that time forgot. read more
