Events like this are usually annual. We have not yet had next year's date confirmed by Epping Ongar Railway — once it is, we will update this page and add it back to railway events. Get the weekly email and you will hear about it as soon as it lands.

Three autumn days of diesel action over some of the steepest gradients in preservation on the former Great Eastern branch between Epping Forest and Ongar. The railway's home fleet includes Class 20 20001, Class 31 31438, Class 37 37029 and Class 47 47635, with heritage buses linking North Weald to Epping Underground station.
