WORKS to reinstate the full length of platform two at Basildon station will commence at the end of July. 

There will be minimal disruption for customers while this takes place between Monday, 21 July, with work scheduled to complete in December 2025. 

Platform two will remain open throughout the programme of work and, although the contractor will be operating throughout the day and night, there will be minimal impact on customers.    

c2c's Head of Civil Engineering, Charles Isitt, said: "We would like to thank our customers in Basildon for their patience as they waited for this important work to take place.

"It is great news that from December, our 12-carriage trains will once again be part of the service for customers in Basildon.

"While part of platform two is rebuilt, customers should expect minimal disruption, but as always our station colleagues will be on hand to advise."  

During the works, Southernhay Road will be subject to full and one lane closures.
