Not for those stuck on the train.

As usual when the line is closed from Liverpool St to Leytonstone,
those out west are abandoned. In the last few months there have been 2
or 3 suspensions in this part of the line, plus engineering works. A
crossover to allow trains from the west to run to/from Stratford (even
if it's only half the trains, the others reversing at Leytonstone)
would allow people out west to connect to mainline, Jubilee and DLR
services.

Instead you're left to your own devices to get scummy busses to
Walthamstow or Chingford (at least on the Epping branch)

A crossover at Stratford is desirable but major works would be needed
to provide one in the tunnels either side of the station. Since these
tunnels start immediately before and after the platforms there may not
be sufficient space for a crossover at surface level. Even if there
was enough room this would also involve a flat crossing of the Network
Rail main line into Liverpool Street (which runs between the Central
Line tracks at Stratford Station). This would probably be
unacceptable to NR because of the signalling complications and the
likely delays to NR services every time it was used.
