=== Use of Liverpool Street ===
[[File:fenchurch street station.jpg|thumb|Most c2c services operate from [[Fenchurch Street railway station]]]]On weekends, c2c operates a limited service to {{rws|London Liverpool Street}} that diverges at Barking, and calls at {{rws|Stratford}} instead of West Ham, Limehouse and Fenchurch Street. This route can also be utilised during engineering works or disruption.<ref name=":2" /> The route uses the [[Gospel Oak to Barking line]] and the [[Great Eastern Main Line]], with trains passing through {{rws|Woodgrange Park}}, {{rws|Forest Gate}}, and{{rws|Maryland}} stations without stopping. 

===Future services===
{{rws|Beam Park}}, a new station between Dagenham Dock and Rainham, will eventually become part of c2c's Fenchurch Street to Grays via Rainham route when it opens.
