Rail travellers could face delays to weekend journeys as work continues on the high speed Channel Tunnel rail link.

The c2c branch lines between Barking and Ockendon and Pitsea are scheduled to be closed on a number of weekends as engineering work is carried out on the £5.2billion project.

The work being carried out by Network Rail staff is part of the preparations for the link.
