Services are likely to be disrupted on the Greater Anglia and c2c network during August Bank Holiday from Saturday, 27th to Monday, 29th August whilst Network Rail carries out essential maintenance to the tracks, signalling, and overhead lines.

The work is essential to keep services running safely and reliably.

Rail-replacement bus services will be in place and passengers are advised to check before they travel. No full-size bikes or e-scooters can be carried by rail replacement buses.

Work taking place includes:

Passengers should check National Rail Enquiries for the latest information on which trains will be running.

Ipswich to Ely/Cambridge North

Liverpool Street to Cheshunt (Local Diversions)

Fenchurch Street to Shoeburyness via Ockendon

Fenchurch Street to Shoeburyness via Rainham

Between Broxbourne and Hertford East

Between Stratford and Meridian Water

The rest of Anglias rail network, including the main lines, will be open as normal.

Ellie Burrows, Network Rails route director for Anglia, said:

Were carrying out renewal and upgrade works across the network to improve reliability and prevent delays now and in the future. Passengers are advised to check before they travel. Id like to thank passengers for their patience while we carry out this essential work.

Jamie Burles, Greater Anglia managing director said:

Were very sorry for any inconvenience caused by these projects, but its essential so that we can run our new longer trains.

Customers should check before they travel and allow more time for their journeys.

Where we are able to run rail replacement buses, they will be fully accessible with extra staff on hand to make the transition between train and bus as easy as possible.

Customer reaction to our new trains has been fantastic. With their plug and USB points, fast free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, improved accessibility features, dedicated cycle spaces and better passenger information screens, our new trains offer a much better travel experience.

c2cs MD Rob Mullen, said:

The work Network Rail is carrying out over the August Bank Holiday is essential in keeping services running safely and reliably in the longer term.

Some of our services will be operating differently than normal with rail replacement in operation on parts of our route. We would ask that our customers check before they travel over the summer bank holiday.
