And where is the obvious place "past Shenfield"? Colchester is the
nearest that makes sense.

Southend Victoria? It is as close to Central London as Reading is.

Why would a commuter from Southend want to take a Crossrail train
rather than the much more direct line to Fenchurch St?

How different from the people who currently travel from Southend Victoria
to Liverpool St now? If they want the city they will get to Fenchurch St
quicker but quite a lot still travel to Liverpool St.
