    I'm planning to visit Epping & Ongar Railway on New Year's Day, to help an autistic teenager with his train photography. As I've not visited the railway before, would appreciate any suggestions on good photographic locations or opportunities. Are the shed or signal box accessible?

    There’s not many I’m afraid. The line is mostly a green tunnel.

    Unless things have changed a lot since I was last there in 2015, the only photographic locations are on the platforms and there are very, very, few off-platform locations. I think the only way to photograph what is in the loco yard is to do it from the train as it passes.

    I last visited in 2015 for a Gala and photo charter afterwards, and I would agree with the above.
    North Weald station Ongar End of the platform https://paulsimpson.zenfolio.com/p272409593/h49948da3#h49948e8a
    Epping end of North Weald Station with loco yard in the background https://paulsimpson.zenfolio.com/p272409593/h49948da3#h49948da3
    Blake Hall station - private house from the road bridge during photo charter - looking towards North Weald ( the light had gone by the time we got here) https://paulsimpson.zenfolio.com/p742716815/h49c40391#h49c40391 and towards Ongar : -

    Sorry, I was thinking more around the stations rather than lineside. The footbridge at North Weald looks nice for framing. Can you access the shed area, or any stored locos?

    It was not acessable in 2015, and I would be suprised it this has changed.

    This is a compilation video of several visits I’ve made to the line (it’s my local Heritage Railway). Maybe of some help:

    This thread is not nearly as exciting as I first imagined it would be :(
