Leon Daniels: Tube train returns to Ongar branch after 20 years

http://leondaniels.blogspot.com/2014/09/tube-train-returns-to-ongar-branch.html

Monday, 29 September 2014. Tube train returns to Ongar branch after 20 years. Twenty years ago London Transport ‘pulled the plug’ on the Epping-Ongar branch of the Central line. The story however started in 1865 when the Great Eastern Railway reached the Essex outpost of Epping. In 1950, driven by post-war housing demands, it became a fully-fledged part of the Underground. A busy weekend of activities started on Friday morning when MD London Underground Mike Brown rededicated the long-standing milepost a...

Historical Trinkets: November 2011

http://historicaltrinkets.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

Hidden history, book reviews, photographs and general history-related prattle. Friday, 25 November 2011. A rare glimpse - Aldwych tube station tour, 25th November 2011. I was lucky enough to get a ticket for one of the London Transport Museum's rare tours of the former Aldwych Tube station, which began today (Friday 25th November). Located on the Strand near St Clement Danes church, Aldwych stands out with its distinctive Leslie Green frontage of dark red tiles. A wonderful archive of old Tube maps.
