Crossrail NOT making connections

In message , at 12:41:36 on Mon, 8 Dec 2008, MIG remarked: Brentwood is the first station in Essex on that line, as I recall. Correct. And as the only station in Essex which wouldn't have fast trains to Stratford [1], they would be particularly hard done by. That's the current situation I think. *[1] This is probably not true. Wildly untrue. None of the stations between Shenfield and Southend have fast trains to London, for example. It's true if "fast" means "non-stop from Shenfield". That isn't a useful definition of "fast" in this context. They all have trains that go non-stop from Shenfield, and some non-stop from Billericay. Some trains, perhaps. I think one an hour misses Romford. Brentwood is currently only served by trains that do all stations off- peak and substantial number of stations in the peak. *It wouldn't be a change to get a similar service under Crossrail. But I remember it when most of the Brentwood trains were semi-fast. As I was describing somewhere else in this thread a few daze ago. Brentwood was served by the Southends (and Southminsters sometimes) which did all stations to Romford, then Ilford and Stratford, and the all-stations started in from Gidea Park. Then the all-stations were extended to start from Shenfield and the Southends were moved to the fast tracks, so Brentwood got a more frequent but slower service (as did Harold Wood). Gidea Park got a reduced service. |
