Up 'East Anglian' approaching Shenfield & Hutton, 1949
View NE, towards Chelmsford, Colchester etc. on the ex-GE main line, also Southend (Victoria) to the right. The wires were up here in June 1949, but the electric trains to Shenfield from Liverpool Street did not commence until 26/9/49 and to Southend in 1956, initially at 1,500v DC. (This was converted to 25kV (part at 6.25Kv) in 11/60 and eventually extended to Norwich. The recently introduced 'East Anglian', 09.45 from Yarmouth (Vauxhall) via Norwich and Ipswich, is speeding along towards London behind Thompson B1 4-6-0 No. 61332 (built 6/48, withdrawn 12/62).

Looking north from Shenfield station
Shenfield station was opened by the Eastern Counties Railway company on 29th March 1843 on the extension from Brentwood to Colchester. It closed in March 1850 as passenger numbers were so low because there was little housing in the area. It was reopened with the name Shenfield & Hutton Junction on 1st January 1887 by the Great Eastern Railway to serve as an interchange station with the new line to Southend that was completed two years later. It was renamed Shenfield on 20th February 1969. From 2019 Shenfield will be the eastern end of Crossrail when it will be opened as the Elizabeth Line.
This view looks north from Platform 2. In about three quarters of a mile the line diverges with the 1843 line continuing to Chelmsford and Colchester while the 1889 line bears right for Billericay and Southend Victoria.
