Default Epping - Ongar Railway Now Open

Those who are really interested have at
the moment the chance of the Sarah Siddons tours and the occasional
run of the 1938 tube stock and surely it is better to keep such as
artifacts in good condition with an occasional run rather than wear
such things out bashing them up down a few miles every weekend
carrying uninterested children wondering why they don't look like the
trains from Underground Ernie.

I think you might be surprised. The Waterloo and City centenary open
weekend was very well patronised, for example. And my son got a cab ride
(which my daughter has never quite forgiven either of us for).
