SUMMARY:Sugar\, Steam and Sunsets (Java)
DESCRIPTION:A Hitchin and Welwyn Garden City Branch presentation by David Longman. \nIn the early years of this century\, David Longman made a series of trips to photograph the remaining steam locomotives working on the narrow gauge sugar lines in Java.  Unwilling to join an organised group he travelled the length of the island by bus\, motorcycle and becak\, locating the various ‘pabrik gula’ and bringing back a snapshot not only of the railways but also the lives of the people of this Indonesian island.  Whilst there is now little or nothing left of these wonderful little railways\, as road transport has rendered them largely redundant\, David will be recalling the people he met\, the ‘Beast Of Tasik Madu’ and places his visited during his photographic wanderings. \nDoors open 13:30 for a 14:00 start. \nThere will be an extended interval break! (with Christmas “nibbles”)

SUMMARY:The Epping and Ongar Railway
DESCRIPTION:The Epping to Ongar Line was originally a Great Eastern Railway branch line\, and later became part of the London Underground. Following closure\, there were various proposals over its future\, before it became a heritage railway – one of the nearest ones to us – as which it is now well established.
