Ongar station to reopen

Post by The Raven »

Just found out that Epping to Ongar is to reopen before the Croxley link, hopefully this summer. I've already got in contact with Guinness and the record will be reset. Is anyone up for doing a record attempt with me Ongar to Chesham this summer?

The interesting thing about this is that The Raven has mixed truth with lie. The Epping to Ongar branch will indeed re-open, but only as a heritage railway and NOT as part of the tube system.
