- 07:29 Thorpe Bay to Fenchurch Street – will no longer call at Laindon

- Many Ockendon line services will be formed of c2c’s new 5-car 720 units
c2c Managing Director, Rob Mullen, said:
The new December timetable broadly maintains our current service levels across the c2c route but we have added several new peak trains in the morning to bolster capacity, as well as running our new 720 trains on the Ockendon line on Saturdays.
We continue to monitor customer levels and we will strengthen our services wherever we are able
