This time it's Maryland - CLRL held discussions with LB Newham earlier in

with selective door opening (I imagine that this means the front 8
carriages only).

I vaguely recall plans for a second entrance and bridge at the west end of
the Forest Gate platforms, intended to help take the strain - was this
planned and if so will it still happen?

There's no such entrance in the current plans; the only mitigation was
the 6tph non-Crossrail stoppers running from Liverpool St to Shenfield
and able to call at Maryland.

(It would have been very useful the other morning when all the screens and
announcements told passengers that the first Liverpool Street train would
depart from platform three. Cue everyone going there and walking to the west
end of it so as to be at the right point for Liverpool Street. Then the
first they find out that their train is actually running from platform 1 is
when it pulls in. Cue twenty passengers walking across the line to catch
their train!)
