Getting TO/AROUND: Basildon was orginally built without a railway station, even though the main line to Southend went straight through the middle of town.

It was thoughT that the residents of the new town would live and work in the same place. It Never happened. Basildon station is now awash with commuterS every morning and evening rush hour.

If you wish to visit, then it is a straight run from Fenchurch Street Station (Nearest tube stop : Tower hill) to Basildon.

The station itself is servicable - but a complete hole.

kyoub Fri Jun 13, 2008 13:50 UTC Ugly or not it is a great place to see our feathered friends.	Callavetta Mon Sep 11, 2006 20:25 UTC Hi SB! Thank goodness for you or I'd never get any ratings! I've been thinking about your Route 66 tips. I really think you should put them together for publication.
sirenna Sat Sep 24, 2005 10:29 UTC Brilliant! I used to work in this filthy hole of a town - this just reminds me never to go back!	Smartblonde Sat Sep 10, 2005 20:20 UTC Reading this, I would really love to see this town. I reminds me of a town in Iowa, in the states, in which I suffered for a few years....your writing is charmingly biting!
