| 説明 | Epping Underground Station, 13 July 2024. The station was built by the Great Eastern Railway (GER) and opened in April 1865 on their extension from Loughton and Ongar. The station was to a standard GER design for the period. The London Passenger Transport Board’s New Works Programme of 1935 proposed extending the Central Line from its easternmost terminus at Liverpool Street through new tunnels to Stratford and thence (through further tunnels) over the ex-GER, now London & North Eastern Railway (LNER), branch from Leytonstone to Epping (and ultimately Ongar) which the LPTB would take over. Although considerable works to the extension had begun by 1939, the outbreak of WWII put completion on hold. Post-war, works restarted and the Central Line reached Epping (and Ongar) in September 1949. The BR(ER) steam-hauled services south of Epping stopped at the same time. Although the Central Line had notionally been extended to Ongar, initially it was unelectrified so a steam-hauled shuttle service was operated by BR(ER) on the London Transport Executive’s behalf. The line was eventually electrified in 1957, although the Epping – Ongar stretch was still operated as a shuttle service. Unfortunately, usage remained very light and this section of the Central Line closed in September 1994. Pictured is the concrete footbridge. |
