Resumption of Passenger Services
Epping Ongar Railway announced a resumption of passenger services date of Friday 25 May 2012 which coincided with the 150th year since the Great Eastern Railway was formed. On the weekend starting 25 May the railway operated a special service. Epping Ongar Railway now runs regular services every weekend and Bank Holidays in the summer; during the Olympics in July/August 2012 at nearby Stratford the line operated daily.
EOR operates by running steam-hauled passenger services between Ongar and North Weald(albeit with a diesel engine at one end of the train), and a diesel shuttle from North Weald as far as Coopersale Lane, and a heritage bus service connecting to Epping town and Central Line London Underground Station, and to Ongar.

“Coming together again after a long day apart can be an experience where joy, relief, anger, and fatigue are all present in different degrees both for the parent and for the child. Because of their importance in marking the resumption of direct contact, reunions deserve as much attention and care as separations to enhance the relationship between parent and child.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)

Especially in western England one wonders how the business of a nation can possibly be carried on by means so insufficient.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
“O, the difference of man and man!
To thee a woman’s services are due.”
