The piece below is written by c2c from their perspective, lightly edited by me.
Thursday 5 and Friday 6 June 2008
As you may he aware, earlier this week an unexploded wartime bomb was unearthed on a construction site near the train line between West Ham and Barking. [In fact it's near Bromley by Bow]
For safety reasons, the Police and M.O.D have requested that we close our railway lines between Barking and Limehouse between 9pm on Thursday 5 and 8am on Friday 6 June whilst they work to remove the device. LUL's District & Hammersmith lines will also be closed in this area.
Below are details of the impact this will have on our train services between the affected times:
Thursday 5 June 2008
From 8.50pm there will be no c2c services from Fenchurch Street: a limited service will operate from Liverpool Street, which may also require a change at Barking for services to Grays and "Tilbury Loop" stations.
Customers arc advised, where possible, to commence their journey from London before 20.30.
Friday 6 June 2008
There will be an extremely limited c2c service operating during the morning [?peak], and subject to the railway line being cleared for safe operation, a limited service will continue for the rest of the morning but [it] is expected to be exceptionally busy and travel should he avoided wherever possible.
National Express East Anglia will accept c2c tickets; however London Underground District and Hammersmith & City Lines and other transport services will also be affected by the operation.
Customers are advised where possible to avoid travelling during the morning.
As you may appreciate this particular incident is outside of our control but we will do all we can to minimise the impact on your journey.
Please listen to local radio, contact National Rail Enquires on 084577 48 49 50 or visit our ww http://www.c2c-online.co.uk/ for further information and details of our actual train service during the affected times.
I am very sorry for any delay or inconvenience you may experience due to this particular incident.
