This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Let Greater Abellio ticket holders use the C2C service during Crossrail works.
Although Greater Abellio is providing a shuttle bus service to Newbury Park Station from Shenfield Station, the quickest journey into London is on the Fenchurch line. The two rail companies have not reached an agreement on using the C2C line as a free alternative for season ticket holders.

As Crossrail works will close the Liverpool Street line on a multitude of weekends up to May 2017 this seems unfair on rail travelers to pay extra for using C2C, especially as any 'unplanned' disruption allows free usage.
