North Weald
GWR Hall Class 4-6-0 4953 'Pitchford Hall' arriving at North Weald on the Epping Ongar Railway on 2nd June 2012. Built at Swindon in August 1929, it was withdrawn in May 1963, finding its way to Woodham's scrapyard at Barry. It was purchased for preservation by a Dr. John Kennedy in 1984 and moved to Tyseley for restoration, eventually moving under its own steam again for the first time in just over 40 years in February 2004. It was sold to the Epping Ongar Railway in 2011, shortly before the line reopened. This station nowadays looks as if it might well be on a different planet to the days when LUL Central Line trains called here from 1957 to 1994.
