Ticket acceptance is in place with London Underground on the Central Line between Newbury Park tube station and Stratford / London Liverpool Street.
Buses will also replace trains between Southminster and Wickford all weekend.
Narrow roads on the Southminster branch line mean that Battlesbridge and Althorne stations cannot be served rail-replacement buses. Customers travelling from Battlesbridge should use the Help-Point on the station to request a taxi.
Customers travelling to / from Althorne: buses will pick-up and drop-off at "Ford's Coaches" forecourt situated on the B1010 Fambridge Road, opposite the junction with Summerhill Burnham Road.
