C2c services in south Essex will be disrupted by engineering works during the late summer bank holiday weekend.
Network Rail says services between Shoebury and London Fenchurch Street will be affected by the works between Saturday, August 28 and Monday, August 30.
The work will see track renewed at Pitsea, while a riverside project in Barking will also impact on the Shoebury to Fenchurch Street line.

Greater Anglia services between Southend Victoria and London are expected to run as normal.
Ellie Burrows, Network Rail’s route director for Anglia, said: “We know that tourism is in high demand this summer and we have planned our work to minimise disruption.
“The vast majority of our passengers will be able to enjoy travelling by train over the bank holiday period.
“Passengers who are travelling out of the Anglia region should check how their journey might be affected.”
