Unfortunately, due to the Bank Holiday, your friendly Dulwich Hamlet tour leader Shaun Dooley has not been able to get hold of a coach.

Travel details to East Thurrock United’s Rookery Hill ground have been kindly supplied by our hosts. Rookery Hill is located in Corringham, Essex – postcode SS17 9LB

If you are travelling by road:
Exit the M25 at Junction 30 and take the A13 towards Southend-on-Sea. Exit the A13 at Stanford-Le-Hope exit (A1014); this is just after the BP Garage. Turn right at the roundabout (3rd exit) onto A1014. Go straight over first roundabout then through the traffic lights. The Rookery Hill ground is 200 yards on your left.

Please note there is limited parking available at the ground so please arrive early if you need to park close to the ground.
East Thurrock United also ask that supporters using theirs be considerate to the club’s neighbours when parking and ensure that you do not block any access points.

Travelling by Train
The nearest stations to Corringham are Stanford-Le-Hope or Basildon, both on the C2C Fenchurch Street to Southend-on-Sea line. Trains to Stanford-le-Hope depart Fenchurch Street at XX:04 & XX:34 with a journey time of 49 minutes, calling at West Ham (Jubilee Line connection) at XX:13 & XX:43. Apparently due to ongoing engineering works, the last train out of Fenchurch Street for Basildon is at 9.25am! From Stanford-le-Hope Station Rookery Hill is about a mile away as the crow flies, Basildon just over 5 miles. Quickest and most cost efficient method is to share a cab, operators in Stanford-le-Hope include Walkers Invicta, Corringham Cars and others. Prebooking may be advisable due to the Bank Holiday.

Alternatively, the 100 Bus operated by First Group runs between Chelmsford and Thurrock Lakeside stops 100 meters from the ground. This bus runs hourly and services both Basildon and Stanford-le-Hope Stations, leaving Stanford-le-Hope at XX:26 and taking just 13 minutes to reach Corringham.
