Taken from Rockshaw Road using my telephoto lens Merstham station is seen located on the former South Eastern & Chatham Railway route between Brighton and Charing Cross. On the down platform, the signal box can be seen, a SE & C structure dating from 1905. To the left beyond the stored wagons and brake van are some sidings and then the lines of the London and Brighton Railway route. Both routes have just emerged from parallel tunnels that have passed under the North Downs.
