Come and See PAW Patrol7 August
Your favourite characters from PAW Patrol are visiting the Epping Ongar Railway!
Chase and Marshall will be here on Sunday 7 August. The heroic pups will be making appearances at the times shown below. Be sure to come and say hello and don’t forget your camera!
It will be a great day out for all the family - especially the younger ones.
Capacity on each train will be limited and advance booking is essential.
Appearances take place at North Weald station. There is no parking available at the station, except for blue badge holders. We recommend travelling to us via the Central Line (journey time to Epping is just 30 minutes from Stratford) or parking at Epping Underground station (parking charges payable) or in public car parks in Ongar and using our free connecting heritage bus service. You can find the bus timetable here.
Times
You can see Chase and Marshall on the platform at North Weald at the following times, before taking a ride on a heritage steam train through the Essex countryside to Ongar and return.
- 10:00
- 11:40
- 13:20
- 15:00
The experience lasts approximately 90 minutes.
Our resident magician, John, will be on board the train with lots of tricks to keep you entertained during the journey, and there will be other on-board activities too.
At North Weald
See Chase and Marshall. They will pass by you on their own performance train whilst you stand on the platform. Interaction between the characters and children therefore is limited but there will always be a great chance to see the characters and take a wonderful picture.
Our gift shop will be open with a wide selection of souvenirs for sale, as well as a selection of PAW Patrol merchandise.
The LNER Café will be open offering a range of hot and cold drinks and light refreshments to take away.
At Ongar Station
During the journey, there will be a short break at the historic Ongar station where you can follow the clues and find the giant eggs around the station.
Also at Ongar, join our storyteller, Mrs Rainbow, who will be reading a short story.
Our gift shop will be open and light refreshments will be available. For an additional charge a balloon modeller will be creating balloon animals for you to take away.

These trains are planned to be hauled by a steam locomotive from North Weald to Ongar, and by a diesel locomotive from Ongar to North Weald. Every effort will be made to operate services as advertised but the Epping Ongar Railway reserves the right to substitute diesel traction for steam in unavoidable circumstances. No refunds will be offered in the event that diesel traction is substituted.
