Central Line Rolling Stock
These are some of the trains which have run past our Epping Signal Cabin since the line was electrified as far as Epping in 1949.
Parent Group to Epping Museum, CHT has taken a 3 car Cravens into preservation as well as owning a 4 car set of 1962 stock.
Only two Cravens sets still exist, one in preservation owned by CHT, the other still runs over the network as a Track Recording Vehicle
Three new trains were tested to replace the aging 1962 stock. The red one shown here was the Metro-Cammell / BREL venture.
Built between 1923 and 1934, some of these workhorses remained in service for over 60 years. Our locomotive L11 is made from two driving cars.
A daily sight on the Central Line for over 30 years and then subsequently to be seen on the Northern Line, the last remaining silver 4 car set is owned by CHT.
The current trains in service on the Central Line. There are 85 complete 8 car sets. The one shown here is at Theydon Bois, one stop down from Epping Museum
