Commenting on the forthcoming timetable changes, c2c’s Managing Director, Rob Mullen, said:
“Our scheduling teams continually monitor passenger loadings and customer travel patterns, and I am delighted that we are now in a position where we can introduce additional morning peak services, while also doubling the number of off-peak services we run between Fenchurch Street and Shoeburyness (via Basildon) each Monday to Friday.
“We recognise that many of our customers’ working, shopping, leisure and educational arrangements and travel requirements have changed since the pandemic, and the reintroduction of a frequent 15-minute, four trains per hour, off-peak service will give the communities and people we serve access to vital services at times that best suit them.”
