Visiting this line was on the "to do" list, but no longer. Why
bother?


There is no reason to bother - the line itself passes through pretty dull
countryside and there is sod all at ongar and sod all at north weald. There
used to be a great airshow at north weald but London Blunderground killed
that off when they closed the line. It wouldn't have killed them to keep
a couple of miles of single track line in servicable condition for a few
special events but public service isn't something they care much about.
And of EoR can't persuade Blunderground to let them run into Epping I
suspect they're railway will be a dead duck.
