Aren't they going to relay the line so they can use all those Finnish
locos and rolling stock?

With the Regional Spatial Strategy putting forward proposals for 6,000
dwellings at North Weald as a sustainable community, you might find Prescott
placing a bit of pressure on Livingstone to re-extend that Central Line..

And send trains where?

Suppose the line is upgraded with a substation at Ongar, new P/Way, and
double track as far as North Weald (or even just the passing loop at
North Weald). Where would you send the trains on the line?

If a serious attempt to get through traffic ever materialized, you
would need through services at least as far as Loughton or Woodford (or
even Leytonstone!) to make the whole exercise worthwhile. Otherwise you
might as well rebuild Epping with an island platform.

This of course is all dependent on porcine flight, mind...

Can you see the line from the M11?

Yes, but obviously it is easier as a car passenger.

Can you see the line from the M11? I can't say I noticed it when
driving to and from London the other Sunday. I saw the Central Line
overbridge further South.

Hi im James i am a voulenteer down at the railway and i think the
service at the moment for the money we have is ok.
We do have a steam loco lined up but first we need proper passenger
cars, and the second lane at ongar put back onto the mainline and the
5ft gauge locos sold.
Weve only started so give us a chance things will improve.
Regards James

The 5ft gauge locos are to be sold? Interesting.

That will leave the EORVS with three roads at Ongar; the platform road,
the central road with the locos, and the pit road.

Undoubtedly. I've seen some of the improvements for myself and I know
that things will definitely be getting better.
