After the Central Line took over the former LNER line from Leytonstone to Ongar, there were a couple of steam and later DMU workings from Liverpool Street (BR) to Loughton in the early mornings until at least the early sixties. As a sad and anoraky teenager, I rode on them a couple of times. And, of course, the Ongar branch was steam operated until 1957, although I don't know whether the trains concerned operated in public service to and from the branch. There were Epping to and from Liverpool St (BR) trains early on Sunday mornings (only) in 1957/8 according to my Underground guide of that date. Nothing in 1972. It would have been Sunday mornings when I travelled (on a Twin Rover Ticket). I think they ceased about 1964, but without the relevant Underground Guide, I can't be sure - the date is purely from forty year old memories. -- Bill Hayles http://billnot.com |
