Default Crossrail NOT making connections

As it happens, up till today, no one has offered one single
argument FOR Shenfield, other than operational convenience. I've
suggested more than once that that is simply not an adequate way
to do it; it's that kind of approach that gets rail enthusiasts a
bad name.

It's very simple, Crossrail trains will take over the slow line
services which currently run to Shenfield. By an amazing
coincidence Shenfield has the facilities to allow the trains to
terminate and return to London.


So have Margate, Uckfield and Blackpool, I think.


Uckfield is electrified?
