Pedantically there’s a couple of dozen c2c trains at Stratford every weekday, just not in passenger service ;)
Even more pedantically, they're all GBR trains now. We're in the middle of a regeneration, with Peter Davison covered in white make-up.

One doesn’t like to be out-pedanted, but they are definitely still c2c trains, as GBR doesn’t formally exist until next year.

It will also depends who sign the chord between Gas Factory and Bow Jns. It wasn't core route knowledge (and believe it still isn't) for c2c drivers. Newer drivers don't sign that route and Barking to Liverpool Street to start with.
Don't they still have weekend trips that run to/from Liverpool Street, so some drivers would have to sign that route?

Bow to Gas Factory takes trains back towards Fenchurch Street. It’s not needed in order to sign Barking to Liverpool St direct.
