Ongar station, now part of the "heritage" Epping Ongar Railway. I am grateful to the volunteers at the station for permission to access and take photographs. The Wiki entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epping_Ongar_Railway has lots of information about both the original branch line between Epping and Ongar, and the Epping Ongar Railway. The Epping Ongar Railway's own website is at http://eorailway.co.uk/ . For an alternative view of the closure of the branch line, see http://www.abandonedstations.org.uk/Ongar_Branch.html . See also Ben Brooksbank's wonderful photo Image taken in 1957, not long before electrification and the introduction of "tube" stock; Image (photographed by Dr Neil Clifton) and Image (photographed by Albert Bridge), both taken in the early 1980s; and Image (photographed by David Hillas), taken in 1994 just before the branch line was closed.
