One of my basic concerns with this article is that it is not closed but seems to read as if it still is. The same goes for North Weald (and may at some point apply to Blake Hall). Simply south ( talk) 15:42, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
The article claims that this was some joke by the "Station Foremen", this is rubbish. It was a joke played by the BBC, and the BBC alone. In fact the BBC brought the bloody scorpions with them and took them away after filming. The programme was called 'Scorpions' and was presented by David Attenborough. Want any REAL info on the Ongar line, then please contact me. ( Spymo ( talk) 23:20, 16 May 2008 (UTC))
I'm afraid you're misinformed. For obvious reasons I can't name the station foreman. Attenborough was apparently appalled by the hoax. If you wish to discuss this further please contact me-- AsparagusTips ( talk) 18:25, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
I can’t believe after all these years I’ve found this out!! I was born and raised in north weald and I 100% saw a small black scorpion near the radio station, which is close to the railway line and a bridge. Talking with a friend about this last night and he said that it was more likely someone’s pet released by accident (or on purpose) but I remember watching this episode not that long after seeing the scorpion with my own eyes and thinking I knew I wasn’t going mad! This would’ve been around 1998-2000. Can’t believe I’ve just found out it was hoax after all these years! Puffbill ( talk) 09:55, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
I've changed the "closed" to "former" to imply that while the station is no longer on the underground it is in some sense still there (whether the new people run trains or not). Does this work for you? Britmax ( talk) 07:47, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
Ongar sanddrag lies 14.39 degrees East, whereas Upminster platforms end at 15.30 E —Preceding unsigned comment added by AsparagusTips ( talk • contribs) 18:27, 5 October 2008
