@Bashiqa Ah yes - a better quality of smell, I like it! According to my brother (who lives in Epping) Health and Safety tried hard, and lost. Hooray!

@Bashiqa Yep, I asked it before - but am now nearly brain-dead after 50 000 words!
Yes, Ongar closed down years ago. Interesting point. Maybe it's Epping now? (Whci may well be the furthest out station from central London)
kashew Jan 16, 2013:
Ongar and on... I don't know - my lads did the original chaining out - but I left for a real railway in 72. I do recall it getting complicated doing the Circle line!
Could be a negative kilometrage on from Ongar?

@ Claude Seem to remember answering this a few days ago, but don't worry, I've often asked questions then forgotten the answers. It's not a sign of old age just a long translation project.

Bashiqa Jan 16, 2013:
@ Kashew Is this still the reference point as it is no longer the end of the line?
Happy New Year to All

@Kashew Coo! My local station was Epping. (My father was treasurer of Epping & Ongar RDC.) Now I'll be able to amaze the family with my knowledge.

Kilometrage When London Transport Underground converted to metric, in the late 60's early 70's, the Zero reference point for track location was chosen as Ongar. Not many people know that!
