The Whistling Forester - Class 20 running day19 July
We've got a special treat for class 20 fans on 19th July when our diesel train services will be operated by both of our resident class 20 locomotives, 20001 and 20227.
Renowned for their characteristic whistling sound when idling, tThe locomotives will operate 4 return trips to Ongar in top and tail formation, with some services also running into Epping Forest. We may mix the formation up during the day and also run one trip double headed!
Our steam hauled service will also be operating, and of course our vintage London buses will be providing inclusive connections to Epping Underground station (Central Line and in zone 6) too!
Timetable
Our regular steam and diesel train services will be in operation as well as the connecting 339 vintage London bus from Epping Underground and Shenfield stations.
Getting to us
It's easy to get to us via the London Underground and Elizabeth Line and Greater Anglia services. Our inclusive vintage London buses will run from right outside the front of Epping Underground station (Central Line, zone 6) and from Shenfield station (for Elizabeth Line and Greater Anglia services), connecting with our train services at North Weald and Ongar stations.
