  The station is currently managed by TfL Rail and is served by the Liverpool Street-Shenfield stopping "metro" service.

Eventually, the Elizabeth line service will be extended beyond Liverpool Street to Paddington and onwards to Reading and Heathrow Airport.

  The engine shed was closed in 1949 although the goods yard had a small petrol shunter that was maintained locally, being withdrawn in September 1956.
  The electric service to Shenfield was inaugurated on 26 September 1949 but services were run to steam timings with a number of steam trains still operating. The full electric service officially commenced on 7 November 1949 (although a full dummy run had taken place the previous day).
  In 1969 the station's name was changed back to "Brentwood".
