Brentwood station was opened on 1st July 1840 as a temporary terminus by the Eastern Counties Railway (ECR) on what was to become the Great Eastern Main Line, until 1843, when the line was extended towards Colchester. The Great Eastern Railway (GER) took over in 1862 and renamed the station as Brentwood & Warley for Billericay in 1882, and shortened to Brentwood & Warley in 1889. Two additional tracks which are normally used by fast services were provided in 1934 by the London & North Eastern Railway. Services are now operated by TFL Rail prior to the Elizabeth Line taking over in 2018. A TfL Rail train is about to set off back to Liverpool Street.
