Parking
Due to CTRL construction the station entrance is rather makeshift at the moment. You can leave your car in the small tarmaced car park at the entrance of the station that is very close to the platform so you can keep an eye on it. You could park at store entrance of ASDA and take a 10 minute walk back.
Public transport
Stopping c2c services from Fenchurch Street run every half hour. District line services either from Upminster or from London - change at Barking for c2c to Dagenham.
Amenities
There is a canopy on both platforms and 6-lane A13 bridge (3 up, 3 down) to cover you from the elements also with a few seats. No toilets, however, a large Asda is about 10 minute walk away with cafe and toilets. There is the occasional burger van.

Photographic notes
The A13 new road runs across the line and this offers both shelter and noise, so probably not good for video.
