Editing Great Eastern Main Line (section)

== Services ==
The majority of trains are operated by [[Abellio Greater Anglia]], with the [[Elizabeth line]] operating the Liverpool Street to Shenfield stopping "metro" trains. A limited number of weekend (and when engineering work is planned) [[c2c]] services, operate on part of the line between Stratford and Liverpool Street.<ref name=network_rail/>

===Main line===

Fast and semi-fast services utilise the main line between Liverpool Street and Shenfield. Branch lines diverge at Romford, Shenfield, Witham, Marks Tey, Colchester, Ipswich, Stowmarket and Norwich.

Additionally, a very limited number of main-line services call at Ilford, Seven Kings and Gidea Park during early mornings and late nights, often for the convenience of train drivers who may be working from these locations.
