The travel period for these tickets will be between 13 January – 25 March 2026 and tickets must be bought at least 3-7 days in advance of the date of travel, to help manage demand.

“We’re delighted to be offering customers such great discounts on tickets for the fourth year running as part of the Great British Rail Sale.

“There are so many great things to see and do along the Essex Riviera and our route, from attending a Southend United fixture at Roots Hall to visiting Lakeside shopping centre at Chafford Hundred. We’re very proud of the great heritage and culture that can be experienced along the c2c line.”
