As part of the Epping and Ongar Diesel gala the railway provided, for £5, an opportunity for passengers to travel in the cabs of any of the operating locos. I paid for 2 trips, the first being a run between North Weald and Ongar in the cab of 33202 "Dennis G Robinson"
The driver and his mate were very happy to accept visitors and give a running commentary on the line and on their locomotive (of which they were rightly) very proud I it was really nice to see them at work, see the line for a different vantage point and do something not normally available to passengers.
Here we have a setries of photos of the line between North Weald & Ongar
