Train Route

[tublo]

I want to travel from a London railway station to the coast at Southend but I am not sure if I should catch the train at Liverpool Street or from Fenchurch Street (Also my starting out point to whichever railway station I go from would be the Wembley Arena. Thanks for any assistance

Well they seem pretty regular from either station

You can plan your route to either station by using this map

I live in upminster and use this line frequently.

The train from fenchurch street runs along the coast once you're past basildon, and ends up near southend shopping centre, a 5-10min walk to the sea

if you take the Liv street line, that runs via brentwwod, billericay etc, and ends near the art college. slightly longer walk. would take 10-15mins to get to the front with the arcades etc.

If there's kids with you, then use Fen St - more scenic journey - fishing boats, coastline etc, otherwise, use whichever ones easier for you to get to in London

journey time should be an hour I think.
