Trains across east London and Essex are being subject to planned cancellations and delays all week.
Engineering works and platform works are affecting c2c routes this week until Sunday (August 23).
The works began yesterday (August 17) and are impacting trains on the Basildon, Ockendon and Rainham lines.
During this period, trains heading towards London will not stop at Limehouse station due to platform works.
Additional engineering work between Fenchurch Street and Barking will take place this week beginning each evening at 8.45pm.
As a result, Basildon and Rainham line services will be diverted to Liverpool Street, with stops at Stratford but not at Limehouse or West Ham.
The final train from Fenchurch Street in the evenings will be the 8.29pm service to Shoeburyness via Basildon.
After Pitsea, this train will run non-stop to Shoeburyness.
