The question is - how does one get to Ongar if one doesn't have a
car????

Bus from Epping. EOR run one service and there's also a "normal" bus
services to Ongar.

I managed both, but I think the service currently favours boarding at
Ongar as it only stops at North Weald in one direction.

When I worked on that section of the line there wasn't any option,
unless you fancied taking on the brick wall at the end and on 62 stock I
don't think that would be wise.

Oh I'm sorry , because I think that the current operation is a bit
hopeless I must be in a rival group? How paranoid is that?

Hmm lets see. All the conductor rail has been ripped up so any chance
of running preserved tube stock (which the line would have been ideal
for) like the cravens train immediately went out the window (and its
not like conductor rails would have precluded diesel or steam operation
too for gods sake, even if the HSE whinged they could still have been
left in place unpowered until an agreement was reached), the current
operational stock is one rather tired DMU (oh very exciting) and theres
some old foreign stock sitting around that A) has bugger all to do with
anything in britain and B) can't even run anyway because its the wrong
gauge! Wtf??
