Another old friend

I had the luck to catch a rare visit of a locomotive to Epsom Station yesterday, probably something to do with the fact that the station was closed for the day. Lots of people hanging around outside, waiting for the buses that had been laid on instead.

Whatever it was that was happening was clearly Epsom and southwards as Ewell West to the north was up and running. I even saw a train there.

I had never heard of the owner of the locomotive before, Colas Rail. But their web site (http://www.colasrail.co.uk/) suggests that they have moved into the space once at least part-occupied by British Rail.
