28th, 29th and 30th July 2017.

Celebrating 60 years (apparently) since the Epping-North Weald-Ongar line first opened.

Steam Trains, of course, but the poster in London Drinker shows what looks like an old solver Northern Line train - was it '68 stock?

The price, whatever it is, includes heritage buses from Epping and Shenfield.

So there is a lot there for transport and beer fans.


Are you serious?

This was the furthest outpost of the Central Line, served by 59/60
stock, even though it's always been a country branch line.

It's a nice little railway, steam & diesel traction with a very useful
connecting bus service to get you there from Epping Underground
Station & possibly Shenfield too.

The buses are around because the railway's owner owns the bus company
too...........

No idea about beer but theres a nice pub near Ongar Station.
