More than 100,000 miles of track treatment is planned across East Anglia and parts of London this autumn and winter as GBR Anglia carries out essential engineering and maintenance work to keep the railway resilient and passengers moving.

c2c passenger services from Barking to Dagenham Dock, Rainham and Purfleet, alongside London Overground services on the Suffragette line from South Tottenham to Barking Riverside, will restart on Wednesday 11 November, following the derailment of a GB Rail freight train on 23 October.

Passengers are being thanked after engineers completed a major renewal of Saxmundham junction during a nine-day programme of work on the East Suffolk Line, delivering upgrades that will improve railway reliability and help support future freight services to Sizewell C.

Over four consecutive November days, engineers will be replacing 50-year-old track in platforms 2 and 3 at Lowestoft station to help drive down delays for Suffolk and Norfolk rail passengers.

A major refurbishment of the passenger lift at London Liverpool Street is set to start on Sunday 22 November to help maintain reliable step-free access for passengers over the years to come.

Passengers are being urged to plan ahead this November as GBR Anglia carries out a series of essential engineering works to improve reliability, maintain the railway and prepare for major track renewals over Christmas.
