| Fenchurch Street is a railway station in the [[City of London]]. It is a small but busy terminus managed by [[Network Rail]] with trains to east London and south Essex. |
Probably London's smallest terminus, excluding perhaps the [[Moorgate Station|Moorgate]] Great Northern platforms. Trains on [[c2c]] run from here to Southend and Shoeburyness via [[Upminster Station|Upminster]] and Tilbury. See a [http://www.c2c-online.co.uk/route/index.html route map]. |

Fenchurch Street has just 4 platforms (like [[Marylebone Station|Marylebone]], however Marylebone is due for extra platforms to be added). It is also unique in being the only terminus without a directly connected [[tube|Underground]] station. Instead, passengers need to walk to [[Tower Hill Station|Tower Hill]]. |
