Opening Soon
Zone 1
Welcome to the new Cravens Heritage Trains website, parent company of Locomotive L11 and
Epping Signal Cabin
This is the new Cravens Heritage Trains (CHT) website and we hope you like the cleaner look. We have taken the opportunity to align this new CHT website with our existing Epping Signalling Museum (ESM) website to make navigation between the two easier. The Carriage Diagram at the top of each CHT page shows the destinations available. Click on the destination stop of your choice.
Stops within Zone 1 all contain information on the various Cravens subjects whilst stops within Zone 2 relate to Epping Signalling Museum. Click a destination link within Zone 2 to go to the ESM page then click the 'Cravens' destination to return here!
There is currently a third Zone - the red AGM zone. Members can click on the text 'AGM' and be taken straight to the AGM Pack log-in page (or they can click the big red AGM box below). Enjoy your visit!
Cravens Preservation Group was formed in 1995 with the intention of preserving a 1960, three car Cravens-built ex London Transport tube train. By 1999, it was time to rename and formalise the group as Cravens Heritage Trains Limited (CHT). It was incorporated as a company with no shareholders and is constituted as a company limited by guarantee.
ANNOUNCEMENT FOR MEMBERS OF CRAVENS HERITAGE TRAINS
CHT will hold the 2025 members
Annual General Meeting at
Epping Signalling Museum on
1st November 2025 at 15:00
The Museum will be open for Members
If you are already a CHT member we encourage you to attend. If you are yet to become a member please use this link to enquire about membership
CHT members may also be interested to know that for this year's AGM we hope to trial distributing the AGM pack electronically via the updated website. Over the next few days CHT members will start to receive their packs by post as normal, but with additional information (including a password) about how to see the same paper documents on-line. Postal costs have risen dramatically recently and in an effort to keep printing and distribution costs as low as possible we must try to, as many other organisations already have, begin the move to paper-free communications.
To access the on-line AGM pack, click (or on a mobile device, tap) anywhere in the big red AGM notice box above, or click this link. You will then be prompted for your Guest Area password. Type it accurately as printed making sure you use capitals, symbols, lower case letters and numbers exactly as shown.
If you are having difficulty please check if others are too, or if not, please contact the team via email at:
**Please note** being a free member of this website is separate and distinct from being a member of Cravens Heritage Trains
This photograph was taken on 9th June 2024 and shows the Cravens set had been moved to an inside road at West Ruislip. It was reported that the movement went without a hitch and all three cars rolled smoothly into the depot. It has retuned to an outside siding since.
Discussions have been going on apace behind the scenes with London Underground Limited as well as the Friends of London Transport Museum. Members of Cravens Heritage Trains will shortly receive more details in their AGM pack and the whole topic is due for some major announcements at the AGM on 1st November.
If you're not already a CHT member, this could be a very good time to consider joining. See our email address below or use the 'Contact' destination at the top of the page.
We invite anyone who is interested in continuing the work of preserving some of the history of London Underground to become a member of Cravens Heritage Trains. The annual membership is a very modest £20 per annum and entitles you to vote at the AGM as well as allowing you to become a Volunteer at Epping and work on the Cravens Unit (subject to LU conditions of Depot Access). If you would like more details about how to join, please send an email to our usual address: eppingmuseum@gmail.com
CHT is the parent Company of Epping Signalling Museum, which has gone from strength to strength and is now able to open to the public as a museum of historical London Underground artefacts and exhibits, including a 'real' LU locomotive as well as a fully functioning 47 lever signal frame, signals, signage and a set of fully operational points.
