... Things never usually go wrong for C2c. But- when things happen, boy do they go wrong. COMFORT OF THE TRAINS. This is probably the one thing that I find i wrong with C2C. The seats are so damn uncomfortable. Thats even if you do manage to find a seat that is. If you do manage to sit down, ... Read review

A good TOC, could be improved.

Advantages: It gets you from A to B quickly
Disadvantages: overcrowding, dirty trains, no guard, CAN be hard to buy a ticket.

C2C is definitely one of the best railway companies, but not quite as good as South West Trains, not everything can be perfect. C2C is run by Nationan Express, between London Fenchurch Street and Southend and Shoeburyness. There are effectivly 3 lines here, mainline from London Fenchurch Street to Shoeburyness, via Basildon. The Tilbury Loop is from Fenchurch Street to Shoebury once again, but this time via Tilbury. For the third time there is a ...
...are ticket machines at all C2C stations now where you can buy the basic tickets for travel on the same day only. All stations also have ticket offices which have varying and restricted opening hours, where you can buy the whole range of tickets - from standard day returns, to travel cards to advance purchase, to rover tickets to car park tickets.
When the ticket office is closed, you have no choice but to use the machine, which sometimes ... more

c2c Takeover

Advantages: A chance for National Express to shine
Disadvantages: A chance for the misery line to return

...provided more money but will c2c drop to the level of Siverlink or will Silverlink improve? The London Southend line needs a better integration with other rail routes so National Express may show initiative by developing the systems they own and linking them. c2c may benefit from the takeover otherwise the misery line will return and prove an embarrassment for Teddy Taylor and William Hague. Privitisation must go alongside prudent yet dynamic leadership. ...

Better Links

Advantages: Relieve congested terminii
Disadvantages: Havoc for tiemetable planners

In order to relieve congestion at he major London Terminii I suggest that with the next stage of franchises there be major changes to The North London Line so that trains from Southend may serve other major cities. Trains could reach Watford, Birmingham and the North West. The new trains offer speed and comfort when they work. Give the trains a chance and let us have have a more integrated rail system. Other train operators sould also use the Southend ...

c2c: Better or Worse than the old LTS?

Advantages: Reliable, comfortable
Disadvantages: Pricey

...in saying I work for c2c and I wish I would of wrote this review sooner as my opinion has not been altered and I'm not in any way biased and will be upfront about things. I do hope no one thinks I'm saying it for the sake I work for it but this is just an honest opinion of it, and yes, there are still plenty of disadvantages. The first thing about c2c is they are reliable. We've been told that the company has topped the reliablity league for some ...
...only been delayed once by c2c which I think is reasonable. The trouble with c2c is when something delays then, it's usually problems with the overhead lines which can cause huge delays. From an outsider point of view and insider, I can see it is frustrating BUT it's not a minor problem when a fault happens overhead so it can take time. C2C seem to get a lot of suicides which can take ages and can be quite traumitizing for the people around. People ...

c2c Rail best improvement

Advantages: On time, good value for money, comfortable
Disadvantages: When delayed the trains can be badly delayed

I remember LTS very well, the old misery line. Never on time, HUGE delays, I remember it got so bad people used to open the old slam doors and walk down the platform! I think the whole make-over is brilliant. I use it to go to Fenchurch Street every day and It's always comfortable, good value for money. Firstly they are very reliable. They have topped the PPM league for two months running, always over 90% of trains are on time. There are the odd ...
...tannoy and they are never usually more than three minutes late. The trains are comfortable and smooth, no bumping around like on the old district line, the alternative way to get to fenchurch (tower hill) and they are fast. They usually run quite a few fast services in the peak-times which is really handy if your in a bit of a rush! I also find the weekend fares really good, if you fancy a day down at southend they do really good weekend fares! There's ...

no new trains

Advantages: not many
Disadvantages: too costly, poor service

...one as I have endured c2c both as a commuter and a tourist. We all know that rail services in this country are very poor and I'm afraid to say that c2c is no different. A commuter ticket can cost as much as three thousand pounds per year and that does not necessarily secure a seat. It seems to me that all the new rail companies are interested is presenting a nicely presented service rather than a good service. LTS has now beocme c2c but nothing has ...

Something for a rainy day....

Advantages: Everything under one roof
Disadvantages: Sore feet

the back of the shopping centre which is basically an indoor market. This overlooks the "lake" and has many stalls selling things from paintings/pictures to toys. At each end of the shopping centre (or mall) there are two of the biggest stores in England. One end is House of Fraser being on 3 floors with its various concessions and departments and at the other end is Debenhams, also on three floors. Lakeside stands by itself smack bang in the middle of Essex. With good transport routes via car and rail its easy to get to. c2c runs to Chafford Hundred from Fenchurch Street through East London and is the stop for Lakeside where a shuttle bus takes you to the door. Its within easy route of the A12/A13 and M25 and near the Queen Elizabeth II bridge has easy access for shoppers from Kent. There is parking for around 2/3,000 cars ...

An Island Adventure For All The Family

Advantages: Free entry
Disadvantages: limited supply of rides

the world), but the east side also. It was then the park was renamed Adventure Island. New rides are added almost every year and it will provide a fun filled family day out. Location: Sunken Gardens West, Western Esplanade, Southend-on-Sea SS1 1EE The park is situated along Southend Sea Front (Western Esplanade) and easy to access though a variety of different types of transport. By Car: Take junction 29 or 30 off of the M25, eastbound towards Southend on Sea. As you begin to near the town centre, you will see those brown attractions signs which will lead you directly to the park. The park itself doesn't have any parking, but there is ample parking along the seafront just a short walk away. By Train: At the moment there is an offer with both c2c and 'one' railways offering free return rail travel when you ask for an 'Adventure ...
