East London commuters on the c2c network should be prepared for disruptions next weekend due to planned engineering works. The Basildon line, Ockendon line, and Rainham line will all be affected on Sunday, September 29th.
For those using the Basildon line, services to Liverpool Street will be diverted to Fenchurch Street. The trains will make an additional stop at West Ham, but will not be stopping at Stratford. Commuters with valid tickets can use the Jubilee line between West Ham and Stratford.
The Ockendon line will also be impacted by the engineering works between Liverpool Street and Pitsea via Grays. Additional diversions will be in place between Upminster and Grays via Ockendon. Rail replacement services will be running between Upminster and Pitsea via Ockendon and Tilbury to help commuters.
Passengers using the Rainham line should be aware that standard services will not be running on September 29th. Instead, rail replacement services will be available between Upminster, Rainham, Purfleet, and Grays. Those traveling to Dagenham Dock can use their tickets on the EL2 and 287 TfL bus services.
Overall, these engineering works are necessary for the maintenance and improvement of the c2c network. Commuters are advised to plan ahead, allow for extra travel time, and make use of the alternative transportation options provided. Stay informed and check for updates from c2c to ensure a smooth journey next weekend.
