![Waterloo - Salisbury train passing Raynes Park. View eastward, towards Wimbledon and Waterloo: ex-LSW Waterloo - Woking and the West main line; junction of the line to Epsom, Dorking etc. - controlled by the signalbox behind the locomotive. The 18.54 Waterloo - Salisbury semi-fast is headed by SR rebuilt Bulleid Light Pacific No. 34048 'Crediton' (built 11/46, rebuilt 3/59, withdrawn 3/66). The view is from the Up main platform, Raynes Park having Up and Down sides staggered.

Strand Palace Hotel
Nice hotel in great location. No sure if it is just my room (517) but walls a bit thin and could clearly hear man in next room talking on the phone every night. Fortunately did not talk all night… but a bit disturbing when you want to sleep.
