The station was opened on 1 July 1840 as a temporary terminus by Eastern Counties Railway (ECR) on what was to become the Great Eastern Main Line. The line was extended towards Colchester in 1843. On 19 September 1850, nine workmen were killed when they were struck by a train at the station in dense fog. ECR was criticised by the coroner's jury for not adequately protecting the men. Trains serving Brentwood are currently operated by Greater Anglia. The typical off-peak service from the station sees six trains per hour between Shenfield and Liverpool Street.

abstract
  • The station was opened on 1 July 1840 as a temporary terminus by Eastern Counties Railway (ECR) on what was to become the Great Eastern Main Line. The line was extended towards Colchester in 1843. On 19 September 1850, nine workmen were killed when they were struck by a train at the station in dense fog. ECR was criticised by the coroner's jury for not adequately protecting the men. Great Eastern Railway took over in 1862 and after the grouping of 1921 it passed to London and North Eastern Railway, who quadrupled the number of tracks passing through the station in 1934. In 1969 the station was renamed from Brentwood & Warley to simply Brentwood. The station is sited at the bottom of Brentwood bank, which ascends to the east towards Shenfield. The bank presented a significant climb to down-steam trains. Until 2001, embankment ladders were present to allow workmen to access the tracks but these were replaced with a walkway along the tracks. Trains serving Brentwood are currently operated by Greater Anglia. The typical off-peak service from the station sees six trains per hour between Shenfield and Liverpool Street. In 2010, National Express East Anglia commenced a £1.5 million improvement programme at the station, including the expansion of the entrance and ticket hall, refurbishment of waiting rooms and provision for the installation of customer lifts to the platforms. The station is planned to be served by Crossrail from 2018.
