Grays railway station is on the London, Tilbury and Southend line serving the town of Grays, Essex. It is 19 miles 70 chains (32.0 km) down the line from London Fenchurch Street via Rainham and is located at the junction where a branch line from Upminster via Ockendon re-joins the route from Rainham. Its three-letter station code is GRY.
It was opened in 1854 by the London Tilbury and Southend Railway on the line from Fenchurch Street to Tilbury and Southend. In 1892 Grays became a station with the new line linking Grays and Ockendon with Upminster. Between 1870 and 1960 the land south of the railway was populated by heavy industry most of which had private sidings and internal rail systems with their own locomotives.
The station and all trains serving it are currently operated by c2c. Although outside the London fare zones, the station became part of the Oyster card pay-as-you-go network in 2010.
