If they're stabling trains there then they must be maintaining the track

station. Though a branch line to charing-x would have been quite useful IMO.


Not at the cost of a reduced service to Stratford, IMO: and that's
what would happen. Every train you turn round at Charing X wouldn't
go to points east.


I suspect the majority of people going southeast from the stanmore end are
heading into the west end or city so will have got off before the JLE anyway.
It would only need to be 1 train every 10 minutes or so to Charing X to be
useful and for every one of those you turn a westbound one from stratford
early. They manage a far more complex service on other lines.
