Epping-Ongar railway

Just returned from an afternoon out at the Epping-Ongar railway with extended family.

Pointless, but totally 100% enjoyable and relaxing, just like anything to do with old, privately run diesel and steam trains halfway into the countryside.

Warmly recommended.

Fun, I'm sure, but it was a lot more useful when it was a real railway - the last outpost of the underground.

I seem to remember using it to get home from Prom concerts, not that long ago.

Update - oh well, perhaps it was, in fact, quite a long time ago.

It shut down 1994, I think.

Yes, of course it was more USEFUL when it was running regularly, but was it as much FUN?

Was it as recently as 1994?

Maybe I am not as old as I think.

A cheering thought on a dreich Thursday afternoon.
