Trains at Southend Central, LTSML, 02/01/24

Southend Central railway station is on the London, Tilbury and Southend line and is one of two primary stations serving the city of Southend-on-Sea, Essex. The city's other main station is called Southend Victoria which is the terminus of a branch line off the Great Eastern Main Line. Southend Central is 35 miles 55 chains (57.43 km) down the line from London Fenchurch Street via Basildon and it is situated between Westcliff and Southend East stations. Its three-letter station code is SOC. It was opened in 1856 by the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway and was the eastern terminus of the line until 1888, after which the line was later extended to Shoeburyness. The station and all trains serving it are currently operated by c2c. Southend Central has four platforms: Platform 1 is a bay platform; trains may terminate at this formerly disused platform if platform 4 is not available for use or when engineering works are taking place between Southend Central and Shoeburyness; it has an operational length for 12-coach trains. Platform 2 is typically for eastbound services to Shoeburyness; it has an operational length for 12-coach trains. Platform 3 is typically for westbound services to London Fenchurch Street via Basildon; it has an operational length for 14-coach trains. Platform 4 is a bay platform typically for westbound services to London Fenchurch Street via either Ockendon or Rainham; it has an operational length for 12-coach trains. In 1922 there were two other bay platforms and carriage sidings to the south of platform 4 and a goods shed and goods sidings to the north of platform 1. The bay platforms (5 and 6) were extant in 1981 although the track had been lifted. The area was subsequently redeveloped as a car park. Facilities at the station include a partially sheltered bicycle storage rack and a car park. The ticket office has two serving positions, one of which is fully accessible, and uses the Tribute ticket issuing system. Following the successful refurbishment of Benfleet railway station, c2c implemented a similar project at Southend Central. The work cost £460,000 and was jointly funded by c2c and Southend Borough Council. It involved the complete refurbishment of the ticket office and toilets and the construction of a new forecourt on the north side of the station (leading to platform 2) opposite the University of Essex Southend campus, with new steps and handrails on both sides of the canopy, and a new glass roof and lighting over the bicycle parking area. It was completed in 2007 after around four weeks of work. When the London Underground's District line operated a seasonal non-stop excursion train service between 1910 and 1939 through to the Southend area, Southend Central was the second station to be called at after departing Upminster. There was formerly a through siding, provided with overhead line electrification, to the north of the down (Shoeburyness-bound) line between Southend Central and Southend East. This was still in use in 1969. Duration of the video: 13:30 - 14:40 We’ll be seeing services by c2c rail only in the duration of the video.

I really enjoyed my time that was spent at Southend Central especially with the amount of variety I managed to see in the time I spent there plus I haven’t visited there for so many months but it was a great place to revisit however I would’ve spent longer there but I had a few issues with a member of staff there and got asked to leave the station for a stupid reason but at least I managed to stay at Southend Central for enough time though. My next station will be Shoeburyness which is situated on the London, tilbury and Southend mainline and also one of the terminuses on c2c as well which I hasn’t visited there for quite some time now but I’m sure it’ll be a great place to come revisit so until then thanks for watching and I’ll see you in the next video.
