Goodmayes

ROMFORD ***
Gidea Park
Harold Wood
Brentwood

*** Romford is served by only one train in every three.

The number of times I have seen misinformation on this subject is truly amazing!
Okay, I apologise & stand corrected - they don't stop at ALL stations.

I wasn't suggesting an additional service, just an alteration to the timings of the existing service(s) so that at least one train can do fewer stops. If Billericay, Wickford, Rayleigh, Hockley & Rochford were avoided, then the service would be faster and thus more appealing, no...?!
