Does anyone know if 92 stock ever ran up the ongar branch?

No, they did not. The branch was on its way to closure anyway (very
low patronage) and the implementation of 1992 stock and ATO hastened
its demise.

A more knowledgeable reader can provide all the details!


I live in Ongar and work in Service Control (NOT Central),but at that
time WAS on the trains....and can confirm that on AT LEAST 1 occasion
a test train DID work,during the mid-day closed period,to Ongar,during
1994.
To this day,afaik,the stock's auto announcer still has programmed into
it Epping,Change for Ongar service,(button 92 from memory,but I may be
out on that!)
As far as the car diagrams go,they were replaced donkeys years ago to
eradicate anomalies such as the Ongar & Aldwych (shut the same day)
branches & other lesser items,
so I am staggered that 1 survives (car number?). I can only imagine
that the car/s concerned have been laid up/split up at Hainault or
West Ruislip Depot for
a longgggggg time and escaped updating by the depot staff.

Were the diagrams actually removed or just covered up with newer ones?

Initially a sticker was used over the northeastern end of the line to
cover up the Epping-Ongar section, although most 92ts trains I use
these days have, I think, had the line diagrams replaced with new ones
which show the line as it exists today.
