context_page_description: Chipping Ongar is a small market town in the civil parish of Ongar, in the Epping Forest District of the county of Essex, England. It is located 6 miles east of Epping, 7 miles southeast of Harlow and 7 miles northwest of Brentwood.
context_section_description: Since the closure of the Central Line branch between Epping and Ongar in 1994, there is no longer a commuter train service to/from the town. The Epping Ongar Railway operates both steam and diesel heritage services on the former Central line track, from North Weald Station on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays every hour to Ongar Station. It first operated (Sundays and Holidays only) between 2004 and 2007, and then after refurbishment again with the additional Saturday trains from May 2012.
  The nearest London Underground station to the town is Epping, 7 miles away, the terminus of the Central line. The closest railway station is Brentwood, also 7 miles away, which is served by TfL Rail trains that are soon to be a part of Crossrail. Harlow Town Station, a National Rail station operated by Abellio Greater Anglia, is 9 miles to the north west.
