Very few changes to c2c train times in new May timetable http://dlvr.it/TKHZmz #Barking #Basildon #c2c #Essex
From 22 April 2025, changes to Thurrock bus services by First #Essex and #Ensignbus will improve connectivity and maintain key #transport links. First Essex’s Service 200 will no longer serve #Orsett but will run hourly (Monday to Saturday) from #Basildon to #Grays via Chadwell St Mary, #Tilbury, and Little #Thurrock, replacing Ensignbus route 66. To ensure continued access for Orsett, Ensignbus Service 88 will extend from Stifford Clays, while First Essex’s Service 201 will also be extended to Orsett, with four journeys each way on weekdays. Ensignbus routes 22, 44, 73, 83, and X80 will also see timetable changes to improve reliability. Passengers are advised to check updated timetables and plan journeys accordingly.

I got some of the shopping centre names wrong as I rarely go into South #Essex and have not been to #Basildon since 1990 (and was ejected from the Eastgate shopping centre by security for wearing a hoodie and hanging around with local youths I'd befriended) - but I seem to spend a fair bit of time in the area recently (including long drives along the #A12 as its the only route out of this part of #EastAnglia to SE England)

Crisis in Basildon. The number of homeless children has surged by 200 in just four years, reaching 893 in 2024. This comes despite a 5-year blueprint published in 2019 aimed at reducing numbers. Jenny Rhodes reports

"Reform has gained the South #Basildon and East Thurrock seat [the party's fifth] from the #Tories after a night filled with drama and a full re-count today.
"James McMurdock has won the seat with a majority of just 98 votes from #Labour candidate Jack Ferguson after a 'nail-biting' recount for the party..."
5/X Siellon siis vielä ääntenlasku kesken Skotlannissa Invernessin, Skyen ja Länsi-Ross-shiren piirissä ja #Essex issä Basildonin ja Itä-Thurrockin piirissä (minoon ollut siellä(kin)).

Conservative Party Chair Richard Holden re-elected with a 20-vote majority.
there was a moral panic spread in Britain about hoodies by the Conservative government around mid 2000s, and as long ago as 1989 I was ejected from a shopping centre in #Basildon , #Essex whilst wearing one (as I was just "hanging around" with some other teens and not spending money. In some retail places security would challenge youths wearing hoodies although usually only if they had their hoods up, and far less common today as its a more popular garment..
So what happens on a #UKGeneralElection campaign weekend when #RishiSunak tries to avoid the press entirely?
A telly interview with CUP chairman Richard Holden hits the news, where he twice refuses to answer questions about his sudden and last minute party selection in a seat 450km away from #Durham, and then when asked a 3rd time lies about having already answered the question.

I think I've discovered a #PublicTransport gem. #X10 #bus from #basildon to #stanstedairport via #chelmsford - total fare £2 (yes not £20 - Two pounds!) possibly faster than #c2c into London and then #stanstedexpress out to the airport. Now how can we get this extended to #Tilbury and #Grays in #thurrock ?
As Rishi Sunak's government presents its budget today, it faces a stagnant economy and an cost of living crisis.
Basildon, a journey into the heart of the UK's stagnating economy.
