Does anyone know how the derailed and stranded units were moved from the site.

Greater Anglia now reporting line maybe shut for a week due to damage to a mile and half of track. https://www.greateranglia.co.uk/travel-information/service-disruptions/disruption-between-shenfield-and-southend-victoria-derailed

Update from the MP for Billericay from numerous Facebook posts

Might be boring I actually think the centre car looks better, leaving the Red and white strips to the front and last carriages only.

Be interesting how they are installed at Rayleigh it currently has 3 exits, 1, through the booking hall / Waiting room with limited space. 2, through a side entrance next to the booking hall again with limited space 3, on the Southend bound platform underneath the footbridge. I guess they will...

You never know with GWR, I remember the saying when I was a child in the sixties. British Rail and the Great Western, as they always did their own thing.

The big surprise is route B1 being extended to Harold Wood Stn from Laindon.

Thank you all, I will get the cost back on 1 return trip to Manchester from Essex

Thank you all, the money saved on one trip to Manchester from Essex will get the cost back.

Can I book an advance ticket on a senior person railcard before I am 60, but travel after my 60 birthday when I will have purchased a railcard.

The current setup works fine, great connections at Shenfield. If the GA services were replaced by Lizzy line the trains would be full and standing leaving Shenfield. If the GA services are kept what’s the point.

The season ticket fare to Liverpool St are the same from all stations Southend Vic to Rayleigh. Which I believe is due to C2C fares being cheaper to Fen St, However the car park charges get more expensive the nearer to Liv St you get. Will be interesting to see how busy Beaulieu Park gets.

Witham to Maldon, massive housing growth since the line was closed. Still local campaigns every few years to get it reopene.

C2C have sponsored Southend United for another season, below from Southend United‘s website. “c2c and Southend United have today proudly announced the continuation of their Platinum Partnership which will see c2c as the club’s front of shirt partner again for the 2025/26 season”

Totally agree, now that Easy Jet are reopening their base in March with more early morning and late evening flights. Could also perhaps stop at Romford, the stations are already open for services in the other direction.

i believe the stops at Shenfield are for connections to the Lizzy line and Southend Vic, not for Shenfield commuters.

Yes

Agree totally the season tickets issued for all the stations from Prittlewell to Rayleigh, are “Southend all stations“ to Liverpool St etc. which for years made Southend Victoria figures look higher than they really were.

That’s a good question, I believe we all know the answer
