That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line - It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes |

But is it the original line or the Quarry line? The Surrey Iron Railway served the stone quarries (underground) at Quarry Dean, Merstham; remains of one of the bridges may be seen by the Happy Eater cafe at Hooley just N of the M23, above the old main line tunnel (not the Quarry line). There is some original SIR rail on the corner of the A23 by the Feathers pub in Merstham. |
