Pier Train Essential Maintenance

Unfortunately, the pier train has broken down at the end of today’s service. As a result, there will be no pier train running tomorrow (Sunday, 9 March).

This means our planned maintenance work will now begin one day earlier than scheduled, with the train out of service from Sunday, 9 March, until Thursday 4 April to complete essential repairs ahead of the busy summer season.

Southend Pier remains open as usual, and visitors can still enjoy a scenic walk to the end, with the tram service available for those with mobility needs.

We appreciate your patience and understanding. For further updates, please visit
