- A brief summary of who c2c are, where they go, what they operate and any future developments. More of a information pack - this forms part of the Rail Operator Series I'm working on
Correct as of June 2022.

We are going to have a massive problem if you don't do the other operators, as well!! Very very good video.
Hoping you do the same thing with Southern. A bit more complex maybe. :)
SWR maybe? A bit more complicated but it gives a challenge! We MUST have more of these!
To be fair, C2 is about as simple as a train company can get. Even the DLR is more complex.
Loved the video! Could you make one on GWR, i think my local operator would be interesting.
Great video precise and detailed 👌🏾
Me and my wife are both disabled wheelchair-bound and once at C2C station at Southend they didn't want to help us. We have never gone to Southend since that again.
Maybe you should of taken c2c to court. That’s absolutely out of order.
You may have more luck going by Greater Anglia to Southend Victoria if possible
Why didn't u look into other options?
Great video. ☺️
Great video
Yes would love to se other rail operators!
I've never been on this operator before but I've always been able to pick up the timetable with a map at this train station i go to.
The Class 720/6 Aventra 5-Car will mainly operate on Fenchurch Street (and Liverpool Street)-Shoeburyness, Southend Central, Basildon, Laindon and Leigh-on-Sea. And may also go via Ockendon at peak times. As the Class 720/6 are replacing the Class 387/3.
And the Class 357s to be retained and the Class 357/3 to mainly operate between Fenchurch St-Grays via Rainham. And Fenchurch St-Southend Central/Shoeburyness via Ockendon at peak times. As they have metro seats on them.
And yes with Beam Park railway station to be built and Purfleet railway station to be relocated and rebuilt. Also Stanford-le-Hope railway station has been rebuilt with a new footbridge+lifts.
Stanford-le-Hope hasn't been rebuilt fully yet, the only progress being the original station building being knocked down, which happened 3 year ago, and no further developments
I think you are right about Stanford-le-Hope. Thanks for reminding me 👍
It's most likely that the 720s will just run the same timetable that the 387s used to operate
for some reason there is only 1 station in the southend area that has no disabled access which is chalkwell (i do live in the southend area) and it always confuses me.
I used it from Rainham to West Ham.
The pain of editing when this guy reaches Northern since they operate the most routes, trains, stations and depots than any other TOC in the country. I think the franchise for Northern would have been better if it was Transpennine Express as a franchise, a franchise for the North West and then a franchise for the North East and Yorkshire as well as the few services that cross the border into Carlisle, Manchester, Wigan, Chester and Blackpool.
I wish they would do an “express” train from Southend to London. Could be there in 35 minutes easily.
Guys , how do you read the timetable , I need help 😭🙏
This C2C Train is very Beautiful, I need one here in Sao Paulo City, Brazil :)
emr or Northern would be great
Explain the greater anglia lines next please
0:45 - There's something funny about your maths there ... a journey of 39 miles that takes 60 minutes has an average speed of 39mph!
Or do you mean a typical cruising speed of 65mph?
Maths was never my strong point clearly.... 🙄
I've been on the c2c train and some of them have reached 80mph which is quite impressive.
Looking at the size of this Franchise it feels like it should be part of Greater Anglia and not Standalone especially compared to Franchises like Northern
Balisdon? Thrope Bay?
Why on the official map it says you can go from Stratford to Fenchurch street lol
This is due to Weekend West Ham Utd games
grate video you do wat others dont in this scene.. 💯
Here's to hoping C2C's timeliness is better than Trenitalia's here in Italy, though that's arguably a pretty low bar... :-D
How bad is trenitalia?
c2c is one of the best TOC in the UK, i believe having 90%+ timeliness (iirc). its able to achieve this due to it really not intersecting with any other rail operators on its core routes,, unlike say southern who intersect with 4 - 5 different rail companies and has one of the worst reputations as a TOC.
@@vasen-vasen that's kinda ironic considering how Trenitalia is considered one of the worst Italian TOC. Actually there's really no competition on the local, regional scale, since it's just Trenitalia and its affiliates.
@@marcodamasio well the HSR is pretty good right?
but c2c lucks into many of its qualities that allow it to be time effective so i wouldnt say its trenitalia making the difference here, its just the mess after privatisation has made being on-time quite hard when you're usually sharing tracks with a few other private operators, which c2c mostly avoids due to its secluded nature.
@TheGreatRailways - we all remember how punctual the great nationalised British Rail were, plus they had crap rolling stock as well to sit in while you were late. The only exception on decent rolling stock was the HST, which being 40 yrs old & diesel is rightfully now defunct to make transport more environmentally sustainable.
Gonna do southern or Thameslink soon?
Do they have Guard's on board or driver only
It's DOO. Been that way since the 357s were introduced
@@dylancotton2061 that's poo
c2c stands for city 🌆 2 coast/ coast 2 city 🌃. 😃
shoe-bree-ness
c2c does not own the trains. The Class 357/0 are owned by Porterbrook, the Class 357/2 and 357/3 by Angel Trains. The Class 387 are owned by Porterbook. The Class 720 will be owned by Porterbrook.
C2c doesn't actually stand for anything...it is a concept rather than a actual acronym.
C2c is terrible
