Beaulieu Park Station
What do you know about this station they are planning to make? Will it be on the GEML or a branch line? Which trains will stop at it etc.

Conservative MP for Chelmsford Vicky Ford claims funding for the city's long awaited second train station has been approved.
Over 18 years on from when the idea was first pitched for a second station in the Beaulieu Park estate, the plan may finally be coming together.
The funding will be part of a £218 million housing infrastructure budget set by Chancellor Sajid Javid, according to the MP.
Not sure If this means CP6 funding or whether the original 2 island platforms design with passing loops survives, but the story does have the MP saying
"The station will also provide a passing loop which will bring extra capacity all along the Great Eastern Railway Line."
