After having a relatively easy day on the Abellio Greater

Anglia network with most stations 'open' and even those that were 'closed' allowing Andy and I access, we found c2c a very different proposition. All of their stations are firmly closed and the general policy seemed to be to prevent enthusiasts from hopping on to the platforms for a few minutes and take a photograph. Indeed, here at Shoeburyness station I was challenged taking this photograph through the railings by an employee with incorrectly saying that 'I needed permission to take photographs of trains' and that he would 'call the BTP if we didn't move on'. I really wanted to take him on and see what would happen if he did call the authorities but we did not have time to wait so I suggested that he reads his rule book and to get his facts correct! 357025 has just arrived from Fenchurch Street and is returning the very short distance to the extensive depot as 5S15.
