The video starts At High Weald with D9516 arriving with a train from Coopersale. Next we see the class 20s also from Coopersale. Then D2170 joins the action.
Class 47 No. 47635 "Jimmy Milne" is then seen arriving with a train from Ongar.
A brief glimpse of one of the vintage shuttle buses from Epping concludes the visit to Ongar.
Moving out into the country I went to Blake Hall where we see Class 31 No. 31438 passing the old station (now a private house) with a train for Ongar.
D7639 is then seen with a train in the opposite direction.
Moving onto Ongar we seethe two Class 20s again and 31438 awaiting its next turn of duty.
Class 47 No. 47635 is then seen arriving.
The final shot is at Marconi bridge near North Weald.

It is located at Crossness Sewage Treatment Works, at the eastern end of the Southern Outfall Sewer and the Ridgeway path in the London Borough of Bexley.

35028 Clan Line, Loaded Test Run, 22nd April 2024.
Filmed going slowly through Paddock Wood.

Great to see her back where she belongs.
