Rail changes coming on c2c rail as services restored

Railway company c2c are set to reintroduce services next week as recent cuts are slowly reversed.

Two additional services will run each hour from Sunday 2nd June between Fenchurch Street and Shoeburyness ensuring a turn up and go service is in place.

The concept of “turn up and go” is a train at least every 15 minutes meaning passengers can arrive at any time and be confident any wait will not be particularly lengthy.

Other rail services have also been cut in London and beyond such as Southeastern routes which went from a train every 10 minutes for many years to gaps as long as 27 minutes in busy, built-up areas of London such as Greenwich and Deptford.

Southeastern will be chaging timetable next week along with Thameslink though a turn up and go service pattern will NOT be introduced.

Gaps between trains will still be longer than that magic 15 minutes which is often seen as the standard for Metro services in cities.

If you’re in south east London it’s possible to connect with c2c at West Ham on the DLR branch from Woolwich to reach parts of Essex. The recently introduced Superloop service SL2 also runs from north Woolwich beside the ferry and foot tunnel operating a limited stop service to Barking station.

C2c will also be adding certain trains in peak times as well as adjusting other services and calling patterns. Details can be seen here.
