BY TRAIN:
Goodmayes Railway Station is on the Elizabeth Line from Heathrow Airport, London Paddington, London Liverpool Street, Stratford to Goodmayes, and on to Romford, and Shenfield. Simply come out of the station, turn left, and walk down Goodmayes Road to Goodmayes Baptist Church. It is just a 3 minute walk.
Goodmayes Railway Station now has step-free access to Platforms 2 & 3 and to Platform 4 by means of lifts.
However, Platform 1 does not yet have lifts.
Platform 1 is not used that often. However, from time to time London bound trains do go from Platform 1. In that situation, anyone requiring step free access to a London bound train would be advised to use the lift to get to Platform 2, and board a Shenfield bound train. Stay on the Shenfield bound train as far as Gidea Park (stop after Romford), get off, just step across the platform, and then board a train going towards Liverpool Street.
