Steam Train Gala Outing

One Place East are planning an exciting group outing to the Spring Steam Train Gala at Epping Ongar Railway (EOR) on Saturday 18th April 2026.

A huge thank you to Ian Beever for his generous donation, which will allow us to subsidise ticket costs for everyone attending. The original price is £27 per person, but we are able to offer a subsidised cost of £10, which will need to be paid upfront when booking. This contribution is non‑refundable unless you cancel at least 7 days in advance, as OPE must purchase tickets in advance.

Getting There EOR is easy to reach. The quickest route is via the London Underground Central Line to Epping, where you can then hop on the inclusive vintage London bus service to the railway.

What to Expect During the Gala, EOR’s home fleet of steam locomotives – along with visiting engines-will be working hard over some of the most challenging gradients in railway preservation. It’s a three‑day celebration of heritage steam, with plenty to see and do. Your ticket includes a ride behind a real steam locomotive, plus access to all the event activities throughout the day.

Interested in Joining Us? If you’d like to take part, please email info@oneplaceeast.org, call 020 8925 2435 or pop into the office to register your interest.

We hope you can join us for this unique and memorable day out!
