Rejected petition On Thursdays, Friday and Saturdays have a late last C2C train from Fenchurch St

Provide a safe route home for people who end up missing the last train and have no way home back to Essex and cannot afford uber/taxi prices.

More details

After speaking to many people, and having many experiences myself - although you may leave time to make the last train home which is (usually 12.40am), the traffic in London to get from one destination to another safely makes it nearly impossible to make it to the station in time. It’s either paying between £120-£200 to get home at a reasonable time for a Cab/Uber, or waiting till 4/5am sometimes 6/7am for a train home. I feel there should be one train around 2/3am in future.
