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Line service was withdrawn, a test service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.

The train ran today as well, and I was on it. They said that they will
be
running every Sunday until Christmas. I am glad that I did it, because
the
countryside is atttractive, even in the rain. The train reminded me a
bit
too much of the horrible things that used to do Gospel Oak to Barking
until
about 3 years ago, but it's always fun to see out the front of the train
from the passenger cabin. In fact, seeing out the front is such a
selling
point that I am surprised it isn't standard on all modern trains.

That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes

Have you ever heard of the HSE, ASLEF and the RMT?

I have - what is your point?
