Today, the Epsom Downs Branch in Surrey is a modern single track branchline,
a part of the sprawling suburban rail network of London.
In the past, however, it was a double-track line with a nine platform terminus
catering for crowds of horse racing spectators bound for the Epsom Downs Racecourse.

This photograph, taken on Derby Day in 1907, shows what a large and complex affair the station at Epsom Downs was.
On the extreme left, the Royal Train can be seen, and the number of signals and engine release roads is impressive.
