Blake Hall was unique on LU in being too remote to have a mains
electricity supply. The station lighting was fed directly from
the DC traction supply, and the lights used to dim as the train
accelerated away from Ongar.

Essex Road had that dubious feature too until BR took over. We
saw the lights dim as a train left when we reversed direction there
on the Underground Trip in 1970.

From your comments I dont think I can ever see the line going past
Epping again. Would other people agree?

I'm, not sure where _my_ comment comes into it but I tend to agree.
