c2c is becoming a joke apparently. Their ticket machines at some stations aren’t working most of the time and commuters are having to deal with queuing up at stations that they want hassle-free services but somehow c2c aren’t listening or co-operating. It is a utter disgrace. I thought that c2c was so much better then Greater Anglia. NOPE not anymore!! Wow Essex does have problems with both c2c and Greater Anglia. Well let the Christmas woes continue.
