22 June 2026 •
The Met Office has issued a red weather warning for this week. Extremely hot weather can cause a multitude of issues on the rail network including sagging overhead lines, buckled rails and lineside fires and as such there is a risk of severe disruption to services across the c2c route.
If you are travelling with us from Tuesday 23 until Friday 26 June disruption is expected due to short notice delays and cancellations. We strongly recommend you travel earlier in the day if you can, keep flexible and check before you travel.
If you have to travel during this period of exceptional heat please also carry a bottle of water at all times and if you feel unwell on board one of our trains, we recommend you seek help at the next station.
