This leads to the Epping Ongar Railway (not a direct route), which incidentally has a station known as Blake Hall, famed for being the least used one on the network in it's decline, with all but six passengers a day giving it patronage!
Corners and edging triangles to go. Don't think I would ever have the patience to do a quilt this way though.

On the 30th September 2018, the Epping - Chatswood Rail Link (ECRL) was closed to be converted to a "Metro" as part of the Sydney Metro project, a driverless train system running from Tallawong, near Riverstone, to Sydenham, with plans to extend to Bankstown.

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
