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.

Once the hypothetical Crossrail-from-Southend trains become all-station
stopper from Shenfield, the timing will be hugely unattractive. The two
routes are comparable at the moment only due to skipping all but Romford
and Stratford stops.
