The preservation society shpuld of got it and Ongar would now have a
tourist attraction like the Bluebell line....

Another stuff up by Labour


How is this a "stuff up by Labour"?



I was wondering this too. IIRC Epping-Ongar closed in 1994, several years
before Labour came to power.
Please explain your reasoning James.....


It did close in 1994 but it wasnt "sold off" untill 1997 by the Labour
Government choosing a company that was unwanted by the local population on
a business plan that everyone could see was just a premise to gain the
land to flog for housing later on, a situation that has now been proved
right.


It was LU that sold it, not the government, regardless of political
persuasion..
