- 18:06 Fenchurch Street-Shoeburyness,

The 17:47 Fenchurch Street-Grays via Ockendon will start from Upminster.
The 17:56 Fenchurch Street-Shoeburyness via Rainham/Tilbury will start from Barking.
The 19:05 Fenchurch Street-Shoeburyness via Basildon will start from Barking.
Other trains will make additional stops to help customers to complete their journey.
This is the third night in a row commuters have faced delays. c2c managing director Julian Drury apologised to commuters for the "awful service" and delays.
Network Rail engineers have been working through the night but have been unable to fix the problem.
