Thurrock MP Jackie Doyle-Price has welcomed proposed changes to the Rail timetable which will give more services to Ockendon and Chafford Hundred and better services to Purfleet and Rainham on Sundays.
The changes will also mean that all trains will stop at Barking, West Ham and Limehouse.
Jackie said, "I am pleased that C2C have listened to passengers and have proposed these changes to the service. These are now subject to consultation, and I would encourage all users to respond on C2Cs website. Whilst the service is much improved since the days of the misery line, we will only get the service we want if we tell C2C what we want."
