Thats interesting. Did it get hauled from Ongar all the way by rail? I
thought some track north of Epping had been lifted to seperate the 2

Apparently not. The unit was successfully moved to the EOR from
Ruislip depot.


From IanVisits:

" Incidentally, as the railway link between Epping and the EOR railway
has been severed, that means three tube trains and two locomotives
will be traveling by road to get to the heritage line. "

But previous posts here have said that it was moved entirely by rail, with
stop blocks removed and points clipped at Epping. I wonder which is
correct?
