    Timetable updated (again) https://www.eorailway.co.uk/_img/pics/pdf_1793961539-12.pdf

    As far as can tell, the only difference between V2 & V3 is the 26 and Earl David full round trip that was supposed to run tonight has been replaced with a North Weald to Ongar hauled by Earl David top and tailed with Brookfield & Isabel.

    Brookfield has been taken off the last trip into the forest. Replaced by the 03.

    That never happened in the end. We were unaware of V3 so expected to go to Epping and was surprised to be heading to Ongar. The 26 was on the rear and at Ongar then lead the return.

    Visited with my eldest son yesterday and we had a very enjoyable day, with the three sets in action and seven locos there was always something going on at North Weald. We started at Ongar and managed two round trips across both ends of the line, and a walk up to Marconi Bridge to film 'Earl David' depart, between filming mostly at North Weald. My video...
