So Hampton Court, Tattenham Corner and others



Why not also Brentwood, or did they want to differentiate it from

Shenfield.


The difference with Hampton Court and Tattenham Corner is that they are dead-end branches.

Which was probably the initial appeal of Hertford East as well.

Shenfield, while not being a dead-end, is very much the "edge of London"
(in a way that nether Harold Wood or Brentwood are) and a lot of trains
terminate there (6tph), also in future with Crossrail.
