12th July, 2026.
It’s Sunday … and, right at the moment … ?
I don’t think I’ve heard a train go past!
In case you didn’t know?
I live next to the Shenfield to Liverpool Street line: not five minutes walk from Brentwood Station.
So, as regular as clockwork? I’ll hear cars going past: and trains.
On a regular basis.
It’s usually quieter on a Sunday: but you still hear the things chuntering past.
To the point where you don’t notice them.
Apart from days like today … when you notice the fact there’s no trains going past!
Literally none have gone past, this morning.
I’m wondering if there’s work being done: or a strike.
It’s unnervingly quiet!
So much so, I’ve just checked the website.
Apparently, there’s a reduced service: because there’s been a fire at Stratford Station.
That’s that, explained!
