Heatwave’s grip on Essex is causing real chaos for trains—dried, cracked clay beneath the rails is triggering derailments and forcing speed cuts. A Greater Anglia train derailed near Wickford on August 14 with no injuries, while a separate incident in East Sussex left people hurt. Starting this week, c2c and Greater Anglia routes will slow down, adding 2–8 minutes to your trip. The Elizabeth line remains unaffected—but always check TfL Go before you go. Engineers are working overtime with special machines and fresh ballast to stabilize tracks until conditions improve. Normal service? Not yet.
