In the foreground are the tracks of the London, Tilbury and Southend line, whose passenger services are operated by c2c. Top right is the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, ramping down to pass under the Thames. It threads through the two levels of the A282, the road which breaks the continuity of the M25 to cross the Thames. The upper level over the bridge is usually southbound, the lower level through the tunnels usually northbound. There is a certain amount of hostility this side of the river to the name 'Dartford Crossing'.
