Given the choice of sitting at home with the wife or going out on trains I made the decision to go and get two new lines.
Bold = Haulage, Red = Winner, All others are sightings.
Despite both lines being fairly local to me and in fact the Epsom Downs line is the one that is the most infuriating as I used to work at Sutton.
I started out on 2B32 Victoria to Epsom Downs (Selhurst to Epsom Downs) 377707, 377318 ❌ [9m 53ch]
It would be a flying visit but I really would like to go there again and get a few more photos.
Straight back out on 2B43 Epsom Downs to Victoria (Epsom Downs to West Croydon) 377707, 377318 ❌ [8m 31ch]
The Epsom Down line ✅
Next was a tram trip from West Croydon to East Croydon 2557 ❌
At East Croydon I needed to get to Redhill I went down to platform 5. I half expected it to be a class 700 but it was 1R24 Victoria to Reigate (East Croydon to Redhill) 377429 ❌ [10m 28ch]
Crossing over to platform 1 I do wonder why the Southern train to Tonbridge is so far down the platform.
2A28 Redhill to Tonbridge (Redhill to Tonbridge) 377132 ❌ [19m 56ch]
Redhill to Tonbridge line ✅
After a walk up the high street to get the wife a bottle of one of her favourite tipples - Toffee Vodka, I headed towards the station when I spied a Wimpy. It was great to have a m>eal from my past and I loved every minute and bite.
Back to the station I went and caught 2A37 Tonbridge to Redhill (Tonbridge to Redhill) 377312 ❌ [19m 56ch]
Crossing the platform at Redhill I caught 1R35 Reigate to Victoria (Redhill to East Croydon) 377466 ❌ [10m 28ch]
Then home on 2M45 East Croydon to Watford Junction (East Croydon to Selhurst) 377214 ❌ [0m 77ch]
