28 July 2026 •
The weather is expected to be very warm this week with temperatures on Wednesday being the hottest. 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 on Wednesday, disruption is expected due to heat related speed restrictions which may cause short notice delays and cancellations. We strongly recommend you travel earlier in the day if you can, keep flexible and check before you travel.
Please always carry a bottle of water and if you feel unwell on board one of our trains, seek help at the next station.
To help minimise the disruption some services will be cancelled on Wednesday 29 July. c2c train tickets will be accepted at no extra cost on Greater Anglia services between Southend Victoria and London Liverpool Street.
