    Arrow Chipping Ongar Station, Essex - November 2011

    About the station and line its self:

    http://eorailway.co.uk/

    Sadly it got dark very quickly that day so we didn't get to explore all the trains. The best part of the day was wasted waiting to run and jump over the bridge wall out of sight.
    I know you are probably going to want to chew this up and spit it out as its been done a few times and my pics are not exactly top notch.

    #1 - Easy to get into. What we didn't realise that there were 8 workers on the track.


    #2 - We waited what felt like forever for them to all turn away from us at the same time so that we could, one at a time, dart across the bridge and jump the wall.


    #3 - Traaaaaain-thing.


    #4 - Looking back at how far we made it. 2 hours to get about 50mtrs!


    #5 - All joking aside, this one hit home. I would have been on the Aldgate Tube should I have been going to the office that day, in stead I was on the opposite platform when it blew up in the tunnel beside me.


    #6 - Me... All 6'4" of it.


    #7 - Take a seat and sit on the floor.


    #8 - The 'Others' (orange blobs).


    #9 - I left a shiny penny on the track in hope a train would pass... one did.

    This was my first explore with a camera (point and shoot).

    Cheers all.
    On a related note, a bunch of utter c***s went and smashed up a load of the trains at Ongar and North Weald
