NEW flexible season tickets will soon be available on certain lines across the country, including c2c between London and Essex

The new scheme, which is likely to benefit part-time workers, will be trialled on Shoebury to London Fenchurch Street line.

Details are unclear but it it is likely to mean commuters can use their season ticket a certain number of times in a given period.

Julian Drury, managing director of c2c: "We’re delighted to be launching a new flexible season ticket scheme next summer.

"These will provide improved value for those part-time workers, who are choosing between buying multiple daily tickets, or a regular season ticket.

“We are currently working on the full details of the scheme and will publish more information for customers early next year."
