315839, with a stopping service from Shenfield to Liverpool Street, arriving at Chadwell Heath on 24th October 2009. This service should have been running all the way to Reading via the Crossrail tunnels under central London from December 2018 but, as we all know, this didn't open on time and promises to open in the autumn of 2019 were also not met. The latest proposed opening date was then within a window of autumn 2020 and spring 2021 but now it looks like it might be 2022 before it opens, this time the coronavirus pandemic providing a good excuse for yet more delays.
