I'm very used to people mixing up Brentwood and Brentford, but it
doesn't happen with Shenfield very often. And many of the Crossrails go
there anyway, shirely?


The funny thing is that I think most (or all?) of the Heathrow Lizzy
trains will actually go to Abbey Wood, so pax for Shenfield may also
need to change trains (same platform, of course), just as those for
Sheffield will have to do


Except it doesn't currently take 3hrs 32min to get from Heathrow to
Shenfield, even you do a couple of trips round the circle while getting
from Paddington to Liverpool St.

FWIW TfL's journey planner says it's currently 1hr 23min Heathrow to
Shenfield and 3hrs +/- 10 mins to Sheffield.


What I meant was is that the table does refer to Sheffield, but some
junior who was editing it afterwards, thought that they'd been clever
in spotting that Crossrail will be going directly to Shenfield, didn't
realise that it wasn't the same place as Sheffield, and changed the
table to show 0 changes.
