About Brentwood Station
Brentwood railway station is a railway station at Brentwood in Essex, England. It was opened on 1 July 1840 as a temporary terminus by the Eastern Counties Railway on what was to become the Great Eastern Main Line. The line was extended towards Colchester in 1843 and the Great Eastern Railway took over in 1862. After the Grouping of 1921 it passed to the London and North Eastern Railway who undertook quadrupling of the tracks through the station in 1934. The station is sited at the bottom of Brentwood bank, which ascends to the east towards Shenfield station. The bank presented a significant climb down to steam trains and up until 2001 embankment ladders were present to allow workmen to access the tracks. These were eventually replaced with a walkway along the tracks.
As a result of Cross rail, which was planned in 1941 by George Dow. Brentwood is now a station on the Elizabeth in honour of Queen Elizabeth II. As part of cross rail, the TFL rail brand was discontinued and the trains were replaced with class 345 trains that run typically aorund 24 times per hour each way from Shenfield to Paddington or Heathrow airport. Great anglia train services pass through Brentwood, typcially on there way from Shenfield to London Liverpool street.
