Probably because it’s a LTP permanent bus, much like the 99 from Tilbury Town to Tilbury Riverside rather than an STP rail replacement bus.

Hello Marika You will need to accept that the choice about any potential prosecution is not yours to make and is the sole decision of Transport for London. For now, you would be well advised to heed the advice you have already been given and ensure you engage in a timely and honest manner with...

Perhaps the Train Service Requirement document may give a hint - it may be to ensure compliance with the minimum number of station calls as specified

Leigh-on-Sea to Shoeburyness has been closed at weekends for S&C renewal work at Southend Central. Most of the rolling stock is marooned at Shoeburyness CSD. East Ham EMUD does not have the stabling space for the additional units and Leigh-on-Sea platform 2 is not permissive for attaching and...

Yes, one Sunday in 2017 when the Laindon route was shut and so was the GEML - though it required manual dispatch on Pitsea platforms 3 and 4. They were non-stop to Barking. It was an event day, so the additional capacity with 12-357 ops was necessary.

Regarding no freight today, you'll find that at what would have been the T18 submission and subsequent T14 offer stages there was. Its only much closer in, beyond T12, that the freight teams knows what is or isn't required. Clearly the person who had to write Weeks 04 (Easter) and 06 (this...

There is no DOO equipment installed for the Class 357s. The 387s also cannot be deployed due to lighting, stop car boards, etc. Cycling - i.e. the extension in journey times. Currently 71 out of 74 357s and 6 out 6 387s are deployed. Unfortunately the combined journey times for a return trip to...

The Laindon terminators are to support LUL with no District Line sevice and to help clear out Stratford otherwise Platform 8 there becomes unmanageable. They cannot be turned at Upminster because of the workload put on to Workstation 1 with no ARS at Dagenham East Crossovers.

Afraid not. The platforms are in situ but the hardware isn't. Plus the cycling of the rolling stock isn't as efficient - particularly getting units out to / from Pitsea on the Tilbury Lines.

Apologies - I was in work mode Ockendon Single Line Barking Riverside Extension

Also, the Rainham Lines are out because of BRE related work, meaning freight is also diverted via the OSL meaning it has to be kept to a self contained shuttle.

Upminster 1A is restricted to 4 car and Grays - Southend Central requires 8 car formations. Attempting to run through to LST doesn't work due to the fixed paths on the GEML not marrying up at a passing location for the OSL - either Upminster combined with Grays or at Ockendon. The Laindon...

Agreed. Former CRCL Train Planner myself and every effort certainly goes in to cover, not just Wembley event days, but Global Gathering, etc.

c2c are also passing stranded passengers or if anyone is re-routed via Southend Airport.
