Canvey should get its own station after calls were made for the Strategic Rail Authority (SRA) to look into the possibility of creating a new rail link.
Castle Point MP Bob Spink has vowed to ask the SRA to investigate making an island station a reality after he raised the subject in the House of Commons.
Mr Spink said 3,000 Canvey people used the train to reach work but only 600 commutters travelled from Shoebury.
