We just missed the steam train at Ongar on 22nd February but a helpful man asked if we would like to visit the signal box (which was warm!) and the system was explained to us by very enthusiastic people. When the diesel arrived we were asked if we would like to sit in the driver's seat and the various controls were explained to us. We had a picnic in the waiting room with a fantastic fire so the long wait for the next steam train whisked by. The staff could not have been more helpful. North Weald was a very interesting station with plenty to see. Could not have had a better day - once the complicated timetable had been worked out.

Our Kids for a Quid offer has been very popular and certainly we are grateful for the support that our passengers are giving to our volunteers. We're pleased that you enjoyed travelling on our buses and trains!However I would like to comment on your specific points that you raised in your review.During the height of the season we provide additional catering and seating at North Weald. However we have been taken a little by surprise by the success of our Kids for a Quid promotion and naturally we're delighted, but this does appear to have led to some queues for the buffet at North Weald given lower level of seating available. That said we will have more covered seating by the time we open for Easter.Also, we have just built some new ladies toilets at North Weald and a new disabled toilet will be open very soon. On busier days we hire in extra toilets. However, like many railways we have not provided toilets on the trains due to concerns about waste being dumped on the line.

I went to the railway with my dad. Had a great time. A lovely old bus picks you up from Epping tube station so it was really easy to get to from London. The train itself was fun and there was plenty of stuff to see at all of the stations along the route, plus a little cafe where you can refuel. I've heard they do special events and beer festivals, so I'll be going along again soon. Well worth a visit. '

I thought the New Year period was going to be a quiet affair until I saw the EOR was running trains on New Years Eve - two diesel locos top and tailing and the 'Thumper' DEMU were in action. Yet another excellent day out, thirteen trips squeezed in between Ongar and Coopersale with a magnificent run on the now-infamous 14.00 from Ongar, with resident Class 37 D6729 at the helm. Special thanks to the drivers of the locos who fully understand what Heritage Railways are all about, they are a real credit to the railway. Nice that both cafes at North Weald and Ongar were open aswell, otherwise I would not have been able to get my ginger beer and cookie fix! There is a marvellous feel-good factor at the EOR and I, for one, cannot wait to return.

My friend and our to boys both aged 2 had a most enjoyable time here, cheap entry (free for under 3's) great train rides in various carriages from different eras, also a fantastic routemaster ride from north weild to epping station and back, the staff are great and really pleasent and talkative, we had a nice time seeing them operate the signal box, Oh and a free mince pie!!! we will most certainly be back,

I am sorry that overall you were disappointed by your Santa experience.The price of £130 was for exclusive use of the compartment on the train in addition to all the other elements of the experience - and for this we charged a premium on the open seating of the train. Certainly we will look at what we should provide for children by way the way of entertainment during the trip and the compartment decoration for 2015.I must however point out the train does not “go into a siding” we do though ensure that Santa visits all children on the trip and sometimes the train slows/stops to allow Santa to visit all children on the trip to Ongar and this would be what you experienced.In relation to the toilets at Ongar we will have to look at that again to see what we can reasonably do in the building - just increasing the number of toilets in the building itself is hard and bringing in portable toilets could mean we need to charge slightly higher faresHowever if the impression this gives is a poor one then we would want to look again.Once again, thanks for your comments which will help us to improve the experience in 2015

Have been to this railway several times, always a good experience. Friendly helpful staff, good selection of rolling stock and engines. There is also a vintage bus service included in the ticket price. Mostly a quite intensive timetable, so plenty going on to look at. I believe the "Thumper" diesel Dmu is quite rare as most of these were electric.Nice bacon rolls and a cup of tea too.

We took our 9 year old grandson on this bus and train trip. This was all organised by volunteers who were really great and the trip on this picturesque railway on restored coaches was very enjoyable. We would thoroughly recommend the trip, perhaps for more senior people the Santa trip is only if you have children with you, who all met Santa and were given good gifts according to their age.Everyone involved is to be commended
