Epping - Ongar Railway Now Open

Wed, 6 Jun 2012, Basil Jet remarked:
Epping to Ongar would have been the perfect line for preserved 1938
and Standard tube trains.
Of course not, it's the middle of nowhere, and Tube stock only makes
sense in a Tube.
Or on a line leading from London to the "Secret" Nuclear bunker.
The Aldwych branch (accessed from Holborn only) would be much better.
Even the abandoned Thameslink tunnels from Barbican to Moorgate would
be a better place for preserved Tube stock than a field in Essex.
For a museum, I agree, although neither of those is much good for giving
rides on the trains.
