That said, I've decided all Crossrail trains will terminate at

Actually, that would probably suit the people of Essex quite well, since
almost all of them live beyond Shenfield, and thus have to change to get
onto Crossrail anyway - having it start at Stratford means they'll be more
likely to get a seat.

It would be less good for the people of the part of east London that many
Londoners erroneously refer to as Essex, of course.
