Great Eastern main line at Rabbits Road

The route is four track as far as Shenfield, the four inner tracks here, being from the left, down main, up main, down electric and up electric. The names date from when only the suburban service as far as Shenfield was electrified. A little way ahead, obscured by the annoying overhead gantry, the electric lines fly over the main lines, so beyond, the arrangement is down electric, up electric, down main, up main. The two outer lines of the six here remain on the flat and enable switches to be made from down main to down electric and up main to up electric without interfering with other routes.
