Class 37 running day with 370293 October 2020

Join us for a running day with class 37 locomotive, 37029, as it celebrates it's 59th birthday and tackles some of the steepest gradients in preservation! 

Five round trips will be operated - the timetable can be found below - offering over 50 miles of haulage! 

37029 will work all trains between North Weald and Ongar and return. Another locomotive from our fleet will assist top and tail between North Weald and Epping Forest; it is planned that 37029 will lead two trains into, and three trains out of, Epping Forest. The loco on the rear of the train will not power.

Getting to us

Parking will be available at North Weald station. Follow this link for details of how to find us. 

Note: Our inclusive bus service from Epping will not be running for this event. A regular public bus service operates from Epping Station to the bottom of the station approach road at North Weald (ask for the stop at the Kings Head pub). Details can be obtained from Traveline.

Seating

You can book a compartment for use by your group of up to six people, or book seats for one or two people in our open coaches. 

It is planned that the compartment coaches will be on the outer ends of the five coach train.
