About Epping Ongar Railway
A perfect visit for all the family, Epping Ongar Railway is both Essex's longest heritage railway and the closest to London, running from Ongar to North Weald and into Epping Forest.
The railway also runs a traditional London bus service leaving directly outside Epping Underground station and runs along Epping high street every day they are running, complete with an open platform on the back, and this is timed to neatly connect with the trains. Your great value ticket includes all three heritage transport experiences.
Family events throughout the year
We run an exciting series of events throughout the year including Santa Specials, Kids for a Quid days, character events and spectacular themed events at Halloween as well as a magical Lights Train!
Ride a traditional and vintage London bus
Our vintage London buses run throughout the day at Epping Underground and Shenfield. Start your journey at either location, or take a ride during the day.
