The reason SEN can't have early and late trains is that Network Rail needs the line to carry out the Crossrail improvement works. Crossrail is is national infrastructure project which will eventually link Essex commuters with a direct fast link to Heathrow. No amount of lobbying by Stobarts will change the priority that Network Rail gives Crossrail improvement works overnight.
