710256 from Barking Riverside to Gospel Oak passing 357014 and 357315 on a C2C service from Liverpool Street to Shoeburyness at Woodgrange Park on 4th May 2024. Until 2015, C2C trains only used this route on diversions when Fenchurch Street was closed. However, since December 2015, a C2C weekend service to Liverpool Street has operated to access the Westfield shopping centre at Stratford. These give a direct service between Stratford and Barking, not possible on a regular basis since GER trains between Liverpool Street and Barking were withdrawn in 1918. The Forest Gate junction to Woodgrange Park spur is, however, still used regularly by freight trains.
