What I believe to be a 4Cig unit passes Merstham with the 11.49 Three Bridges to London Victoria semi-fast working displaying the correct 44 Southern Region headcode. The rear coach of the four-car set is just crossing the M25 motorway deep in the concrete cutting. I am standing on Rockshaw Road bridge over which the Pilgrims' Way long-distance footpath crosses that my Venture Scout patrol group were following. Quite how I persuaded my patrol group to stand and wait for a train is a surprise, but perhaps it was a coincidence?
