 Ongar Railway
In 1874/75 the GER built a new London terminus at Liverpool Street and from then on, the majority of trains from Ongar and Epping ran into this new terminus, although Fenchurch Street continued to be used, especially during peak hours.
The railway was not extended to Epping and Ongar until 1865, by which time the ECR had been absorbed into the Great Eastern Railway.
However in 1923 the GER was absorbed into the newly created London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) and, in the years which followed, development of these towns along the railway gained momentum and created an increasing burden on the steam hauled services of the branch.
