school holiday weekdays. The standard timetable has both a steam hauled train and DMU service in the operation, with trains running from approximately 10 to 16:30. Current rolling stock Reference: Plans of the EOR Epping Glade: It is intended to extend trains to a new platform called Epping Glade near the London Underground's Epping tube station. This will require significant investment and discussions on this project are ongoing. Coopersale Halt: The possibility of building a halt at Coopersale village is under consideration, subject to securing sufficient investment from outside sources and consultation with residents. North Weald: As part of the infrastructure works the railway is restoring the former goods yard, giving much-needed siding space, and putting back full signalling with both semaphore and colour-light signals. This enables locomotive-hauled trains and gives operational flexibility, enabling increased service frequency. The former Woodford GER latticework footbridge has been completed, replacing the condemned LU concrete structure, which has been demolished and removed. Ongar: With the track now relaid, works are progressing to restore the station and install signalling. Focus has turned to helping increase flexibility and service frequency, restoring the former cattle and milk platforms, all as part of the works towards running passenger trains to Epping. Steam: The EOR is likely to be home for the new-build F5 for some time after completion, being a prototypical engine of the former Great Eastern branch. Guest locomotives, both steam and diesel, have appeared (with the reopening of the EOR in May 2012) from time to time. Class 483: On 24 November 2020, the London Transport Traction Group announced that it had secured a British Rail Class 483 EMU for preservation which it planned to base on the railway with an onboard power supply to facilitate movement on the non-electrified rails. The 483s, an example of converted London Underground 1938 Stock that had been modified to run on the Isle of Wight's Island Line in the late 1980s, is units 483006 and 483008. Both were one of the last 483s in operation, with all of them retired in January 2021 and replaced with new Class 484 units in November 2021.
