Looking over the road bridge at Epping to see the old Epping - Ongar
tracks below I wonder if they are still energised? Also there seems to
be quite a complex layout - all rusty but all rails still in situ. On
the right there is an elevated line that curves into the trees. Was
this a head-shunt. And on the left another line at a lower elevation
also seems to curve left into the trees. Was this the line to Ongar?
In all there is plenty of room for a new station to link with Epping
Underground. Good luck to the EOR. CJB.

The fourth rail does seem to extend away from Epping station, as viewed from the Station Road bridge. But if you ever walk to Stonards Hill, about half a mile to the north, you will see only two rails, and the same from the footbridge connecting St Margarets Hospital with Coopersale village. So somewhere between Station Rd and Stonards Hill the fourth rail peters out. But it is interesting to see the mushroom-like supports for the electrified rails still largel in place.

As for L11, why not transfer to a shed at either Ongar or North Weald and show it off as LUL heritage for the line?
