c2c Rail Anmeldelser 

Guess what? ANOTHER delay on the line "due to a signalling fault' that seems to be their go-to reason....how can you have a fault in signalling so often? Few times a week or more. Or my new fave, it's 'too' hot outside to support the rails. Here's an idea, upgrade your infrastructure. Oh but wait. Now that it's nationalized, that a tax payer problem isn't it?? Total joke. Unfortunately there will continue to be issues with little to no action because it's a necessity for so many so there's no motivation for big boss to do anything. Also the ticker tape info screen on the trains don't work and either you can't understand and/or hear the conductor over the speaker. And the carriages need an indoor power wash to get rid of the ick.

I have to say they have sense of humour. Everyday I get to work, I think about ice cold air con. If this is the day when I get cold while commuting to work.
Today is 29°C and trains are like ovens. Best time to have AC off. People inside the train are looking at each other like it is normal that sweat is dripping from our heads.

Despite the continuing poor reviews this company chooses not to improve. They often make life for passengers unnecessarily difficult. Even accessing the the shoddy on board wifi requires your date of birth. Why would that be? No such requirement for tfl wifi.

Switching to a bus might be the best option for customers. At least they’ll have hope of arriving within an hour. Over the last three or four weeks, trains have been cancelled and consistently delayed by more than 20 minutes.

Once every couple of weeks , literally weeks the trains are delayed or not working all together. I have to some how get to Upminster and get a cab the rest of the journey. C2c has the audacity to put the price of the tickets up when they can’t run the trains properly. They always use the same excuses and forget getting the train on a nice day. Hope they are getting fines for this

Considering these are relatively new modern trains, the air conditioning is as terrible and unreliable as much older trains. Toilets are usually extremely messy and smelly. Only positive I would say is they are more reliable that your typical TFL trains, though that is not a very hard performance to beat!

I'm sick of this service. To come back home after work a bit after 10 pm is a challenge cause it's always engineering work, trespasses on a railway an so on, and on and on.

Trying to get to work on Sunday morning to start work at 07:00. Checked c2c travel app late Saturday evening. App says Bus replacement running from my station Benfleet to Basildon .
I arranged for a lift to take me to Basildon to avoid inconvenient bus replacement (with my bike). When I get to Basildon station and my lift has driven off. I discover that there are no trains from Basildon. The trains are running from Laindon!
This is typical of the diabolical service that c2c run on weekends when there are engineering works. Utter contempt for (expensive annual ticket holders paying over £4000) customers trying to get to work in order to provide essential police services.
My experience is all too common based on the number of people also complaining this early Sunday morning. Crap service that would have earned a nil star rating if that were available!

Dawng gawd awful.forget the hype it's as good as a DJ spinning a few country songs with two birds dancing and a charge of £8 per pint on best offer most songs are pop songs sold as having country vibes! No live performers you'd be better going to your local doing a country night at least you'd get live music. There's no stores selling merch no cowboy food it's w##nk!

Friday 22nd May, was coming home from a lovely evening at the theatre, then ruined by C2C. There was an overhead cable problem, which is fair enough and cannot be avoided, what could be avoided is the shambles of C2C. At the suggestion of the station staff (who maybe should have said go to Liverpool Street) we caught a train from Fenchurch Street, via the tilbury loop, stopped at Pitsea, everybody turfed off the train, no bus replacement service 0100hrs. a police car stopped what was probably an uber driver right outside the station and had a go at him, then instead of making sure everybody was ok, he just disappeared despite a number of lone single women standing around trying to find a way home. So both C2C and the police messed up that night. We ended up spending 35 pounds extra to get an uber to get home............

Ooops ! You did it again....you cant get your people home on the hotest day of the year....lol..lol...lol..

Poorly run with multiple delays and v poor customer service.

I rate 0 stars. The most s*t service ever. Always cancelled or delayed or engeneeing works. That's the service they give and charging massive amount of money for this s*t.

I was on my way to get the bus at 10:04 pm. I saw the bus and ran for it and it still drove off 5 minutes early.

I pay for weakly ticket and no ticket and i need waiting 20 days for answers

C2C train from West Ham to Barking delayed with no reason provided. Train was due to depart at 16:47.. stood on the platform for god knows how long. I stayed for more than 10min and no reason was given to the driver to explain the delay. I’m absolutely disgusted that they upped the prices for train fares. The service is still very poor and now we are charged more for this nonsense. Absolute robbery

My email was hacked by some unscrupulous b%&^&%ds, and I have been forced to change my email. Most of the other apps/services I use have been brilliant at changing my email address on their apps/services. However the C2C app not only says it will reply within 10 working days, but presumably is still sending confirmation emails on my purchases to an email address which I no longer have any access to or control over. This is appalling considering the amount I spend each day/week/month/year with C2C travelling to London for work.

Sort yourselves out and change my email as requested please............

The announcements for C2C trains are often unreliable when there are delays and trains are often cancelled. Today, Sunday, train delayed from Leigh-on-Sea and we were told it was being diverted to Liverpool Street. Then driver says cheerfully he is terminating at Barking with no advice given how to get to stations past Barking that C2C usually serve. Disgusting.

Signal problems are every week now and this is unacceptable, specifically living in a area with limited bus sevice

Horrible service and horrible workers at Laindon station. About 4-5 workers aggressively shoving/pushing a young girl. She was trying to explain her situation they completely ignored her and wouldn’t let her talk. I understand if she did something wrong, but the excessive force they used on her was disgustingy. Four-five grown men nearly causing a 16/17 year old get hurt. All while another worker was giving me a fine for a simple mistake after I continuously explained I’m not from the area and got help from others purchasing my ticket. Continuously explained I’m student, don’t understand how these trains work all while another young person did the same thing at the station however she was let through but I was forced to give my license to the C2C worker who clearly took advantage of my lack of knowledge- inspector CC6514 at 15:47 on 22/01/2026
