The Class 345 Aventras (sic) should by now be operating through trains under the capital via Liverpool Street to Paddington and beyond to Heathrow and Reading. However, as we are all aware, this has not happened due to the chronic overrun and huge costs increases associated with the underground section that may now open sometime in 2022. So, for the present time, 345017 will work the 15.18 from Shenfield as far as Liverpool Street. It is seen prior to its departure from the Essex town located twenty miles from Liverpool Street.
