I noticed a very random anomaly operating in the timetable this week and was wondering if there was any explanation as to why this service ran...
On 19/03/2021 a late night service from Southend Victoria to Liverpool Street was randomly allocated a stop at Seven Kings at 12:34 AM.
The train ended up passing through without stopping as usual according to the real time data, however in the timetable it was pathed to make a stop.
I'm aware that data like this disappears from RTT after a few days, so I've attached screenshots below. The train appears to be a fast service stopping at Southend Airport & Shenfield only, which poses the question as to
1) why it was pathed to stop at Seven Kings and
2) why it didn't stop there in the real time data


Is there a way to predict anomalies such as this one? I'd love to get some camera shots of GA trains making stops at TfL stations. I'm also aware Seven Kings gets one (sometimes two) regular GA services a day in the early morning but this one is not a regular service, nor have I seen it running on any other day.
There's a link here too:
