    Epping Ongar Railway is holding its annual 1940s weekend on the 13th and 14th June 2015. It is hoped we will be using some of the visiting engines still on the line from the Steam Gala the previous weekend. I will confirm the engines in use closer to the time.

    It is planned to have a WW2 Military Vehicle Display, Re-enactment groups, A2 Jive dance group and stalls.
    Our buses will also be running at the event.

    Just a quick update, the pannier and auto-coach will do a full line trip to Ongar and back once a day. It will be the 0950 off of North Weald and the 1020 off of Ongar. The Manor and Pannier also top and tail the 1640 from North Weald to Epping Forest and terminates back at North Weald at 1705.

    The Manor is on a five coach train and does six roundtrips - so plenty of miles on offer!

    I'm firing the Pannier on Saturday and the Manor Sunday so if you're around say hello!
