Today,
the Epsom Downs Branch in Surrey is a modern single track
branchline,
connected to 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.
