The Real Doctor remarked:

Then at North Weald there is an option of a diesel shuttle into Epping
Forest. Or a steam hauled trip to Ongar and back.


As a matter of interest, why two train sets on each side of North Weald
and not end-to-end trains? Some issue with steam in the forest?


Clearance under the M11 bridge?



Epping to Ongar would have been the perfect line for preserved 1938
and Standard tube trains. I know Electricity, Elfin Safety. There
are US preserved Trolley Lines with 600v DC overhead.
