Places to see in ( Grays Thurrock - UK )
Grays is the largest town in the borough and unitary authority of Thurrock in Essex and one of the Thurrock's traditional parishes. Grays Thurrock is approximately 20 miles (32 km) to the east of London on the north bank of the River Thames, and 2 miles (3.2 km) east of the M25 motorway. Its economy is linked to Port of London industries, its own offices, retail and Lakeside, West Thurrock. Its diversely used riverside faces Broadness Lighthouse, Broadness Point, Swanscombe, Kent.
Samuel Pepys recorded in his diary that he visited Grays on 24 September 1665 and apparently bought fish from the local fishermen. Parts of Grays and Chafford Hundred are set within three Victorian chalk pits; the largest two being the Lion Gorge, and the Warren Gorge. Another area of the Chafford Hundred residential development is built on a Victorian landfill site.
Thurrock is a Saxon name meaning the bottom of a ship. The element Grays comes from Henry de Grai, a descendant of the Norman knight Anchetil de Greye, who was granted the manor of Grays Thurrock in 1195 by Richard I. Local sites of interest include the Thameside Theatre, the Thurrock History Museum, Grays Beach and the now-disused State Cinema.
From the top of the Derby Road Bridge in Grays one can look down to Thurrock Yacht Club, Grays Beach children's playground and the River Thames. As well as Thurrock Yacht Club, Grays Beach is the site of the local landmark The Gull, a lightship built in 1860, which has lain on the foreshore for decades and is now in a serious state of dilapidation. The Thurrock Campus of South Essex College relocated to a new complex in the town centre in September 2014.
The town is approximately 20 miles (32 km) to the east of London on the north bank of the River Thames, and 2 miles (3.2 km) east of the M25 motorway its economy is linked to Port of London industries, its own offices, retail and Lakeside, West Thurrock. Its variously used riverside (from homes through wild bird-habitat marshland to importation, storage and distribution) faces Broadness Lighthouse, Broadness Point, Swanscombe, Kent.
Grays has good road links, being close to the A13 road and the M25 motorway. The A126 London Road is the main road which links Grays town centre with Lakeside Shopping Centre, Purfleet and Tilbury.

Londres - Inglaterra
Londres es la capital de Inglaterra y del Reino Unido. Situada a orillas del río Támesis en el sureste de la isla de Gran Bretaña, su establecimiento se data más de dos milenios atrás, fue fundada alrededor del año 43 por los romanos con el nombre de Londinium. El corazón de la ciudad, la antigua City de Londres, todavía conserva sus límites medievales, pero, al menos, a partir del siglo XIX, el nombre de Londres también ha denominado a la metrópoli que ha crecido a su alrededor. Actualmente, esta aglomeración conurbana forma la región de Londres de Inglaterra y el área administrativa del Gran Londres, con su propio alcalde y asamblea
British Rail Scotrail-Stirling & Perth 1989
Another Scotrail video from 1989 this time Stirling and Perth. Seen are DMUs and loco hauled trains both Inter-City and Scotrail hauled by class 47s along with a couple of push-pull's. Also seen are a couple of 37 hauled freights and all the lovely semaphore signals at Stirling, sadly now gone (i have a soft spot for semaphore signalling and will upload films with them in operation at various places around the UK). Some great shots here for those old enough to remember it all, and something to lament for those who missed it! If you liked the video please subscribe to my channel, there are lots more transport & quirky vids to upload!

Grays Railway station
I popped down to the station to collect a passenger.
Grays has become almost a 'dormitory town', where a large proportion of the workers go to London every day, many of them by train.
They pay something like £3,000.00 a year for their train tickets, just to get to work.
Still, we do get to see a pair of Class 86 locomotives pulling a train of containers.
