Epping Ongar Light Fantastic (November 27th)

The Epping Ongar railway is one of London’s true hidden gems; tucked up beyond the end of the Central line, it’s London’s very own working steam railway, and boasts one of the only abandoned Tube stations that still welcomes trains. Families and transport fans alike can hop aboard their vintage trains for a joyous ride from Epping to Ongar, under the power of one of the line’s four steam engines or multitude of diesel engines. It’s an excellent day out, and between November 19 and January 9, 2022, things are going to be gleefully, luminously festive.

Epping Ongar Light Fantastic saw the heritage trains bedecked in a plentiful array of Christmas lights, turning the classic engines into brightly-coloured blurs speeding through the night. Seriously, if the North Pole had a steam line, I reckon it would look a lot like this. The railway is promising a display of lights and music, with a specially designed show that highlights their stations, woodlands, and rural setting, with plenty of cute illuminated displays set up in the fields and woods surrounding the line.

The Lexo Club can confirm tickets are priced at £20 each and depending on the interest from our members on this event, we may be hosting our own carriage and VIP tickets option on this train as we work with the Epping Ongar Railway to bring you access to this.
