End of the Line No.2 - Epping

It's Episode Two of 'End of the Line' and we're on the Central Line out in Zone 6, to visit Epping station. What is there? What's the station like? Didn't the line used to go futher? And if you've never been yourself - will this inspire you to go to make a trip all the way to Epping to see it !?

You were absolutely INCREDIBLE at staying completely still in Jay's new video!

[@Theonintendo]

I didn’t know that Frank Pick had a KZbin Channnel ! Neat ❤

[@safesayf]

No one going to mention how perfectly timed the end of the video was. Super satisfying Geoff!

i’m from Germany and was in London for a few days some years ago and thought “why don’t i just take the tube to a random end of line”. It ended up being epping and I gotta say it was a pretty lucky choice. lovely station with lots of heritage all around it on that bit of track 🛤

[@EfeAydog]

isn’t this frank pick??

Fun fact: When the dreaded Rupert Murdoch relocated from Australia to Britain in the late 1960s, he lived at Coopersale and commuted from Epping to Fleet St every day.

I bumped into Geoff while he was filming this at Epping and just wanna write a comment to thank you for being so lovely and polite despite me possibly interrupting your filming, sorry if that was the case!

Congrats on the deadpan cameo in Jay Foreman's latest video!!

Oh wow Frank Pick is making videos about the Underground now that's really neat

As a Harlow resident, I’m glad you pointed out the dilemma we have with two ways of travelling into London. It’s also worth noting the two waiting rooms which are almost never used, since every day apart from Sundays there’s always at least one train in the station at any time.

"Do you like Epping?"

[@TransportVlog]

Great to hear Epping in Sydney and Melbourne mentioned at the end. Sydney also has stations named Lewisham, Croydon, Sydenham (soon to be a metro station like Epping), Stanmore, Windsor and Richmond. We also have Woodford and Blackheath a little further out in the Blue Mountains, and Waterloo metro station opening in 2024!

I admire how Geoff likes the feeling of 'where am I? Why am I here?'

For those who don't know, there is a superb cab-view video of the Epping-Ongar section on KZbin, shot in 1980, the year before Blake Hall closed. A wonderful historical document.

[@stuarthall6631]

I actually used Blake Hall Station (Ongar extension) several times back in the 1970's as it served Britain's oldest wooden church which looks incredible.

[@JintySteam1]

Your presenting is so professional. It feels like a TV documentary.

[@SportyMabamba]

I can confirm that, around the corner beyond the bridge, TfL has installed a back-to-back train arrestor setup at the end of their rails to facilitate the Epping Glade heritage station 😄

So excited for the end of the Waterloo and City line!!

[@vicsams4431]

Hi Geoff, British Rail owned the track and maintained it till 1971. A friend of mine, held the last BR residential staff pass from Loughton, as he joined prior to 1971.

Every time Geoff said “End of the line” I started humming the Travelling Wilburys song.
