Today (Sun Oct 10, 2004), the Epping Ongar Railway Preservation
Society ran a train service using a single class 117 DMU from Ongar to
North Weald and back; a week previously, almost 10 years to the day
since the Central Line service was withdrawn, a test service was run
on Oct 3.

I wonder if this means that the EOR actually has a future. I also
wonder about that DMU livery, and the precise relationship between the
original EOR company that bought the line and this new EORPS that ran
the trains today.

Shame that on Sunday it costs £4 to get from Ongar to Epping, but £2 to
get from there to West Ruislip :-)

Well that's nothing new; under LU it once cost 2.20GBP to go to Epping
from Ongar. For another 40p one could go from Epping to West
Ruislip...

I would have liked to have been able to walk the line when it was
derelict; it's a shame that there are houses everywhere at the Epping
end which makes it hard to lawfully access the line, much less
photograph it.
