Filming at EOR
Epping-Ongar Railway
"The Easy Access & Friendly Transport-Themed Film Location"
EOR is situated just 3 minutes drive from Junction 7 of the M11, and 5 minutes from Junction 27 of the M25, making it the closest to London, but despite its easy access the railway runs for 6.5 miles through unspoilt Essex countryside, running between original 1865 stations.
In order to best demonstrate what EOR can offer for both filming, stills work, rail testing and training, we have created a dedicated website: railwayforhire.co.uk
On this site there is a full list of what we can offer and excerpts from previous productions that have been filmed on EOR.
Our station buildings are probably the last original un-altered working stations built by the Great Eastern and we have both a large station and a smaller country station beautifully back-dropped with trees and open fields. The stations have been restored into accurate period colours, condition and atmosphere, complete with open fires.
We have platforms which have been used to represent a wide range of periods, including a modern platform which could easily be anywhere in the country. In addition to the stations, we have a fleet of both heritage and modern rolling stock, signalboxes and many unique lineside areas, embankments, bridges, and even a completely controllable level crossing not located on a public highway.
We have a sister company with a fleet of heritage London buses, both red and green ones, single, double decker and even an open topper, and these are available for hire for both charters and filming work.
The railway and it's team prides itself with its "can-do" attitude and we have previously accommodated filming at any time of day or night, weekdays or weekends and also helped advise with authenticity. Both stations have good access for vehicles (with off-street parking) and we also have a few access points along the line.
We would be delighted to discuss your requirements and welcome your film location team to the railway for a site visit, and throughout filming one of our friendly and helpful team can be on hand as "Facility Enabler" to assist with ensuring your shoot goes smoothly.
EOR is the longest heritage railway in Essex & Hertfordshire and is the closest to London, offering a country railway location, which is easy to reach from its nearby motorway connections.
