Merton Park 4
The Wimbledon to West Croydon line had the appearance of a country branch line despite being only a handful of miles from central London. Before closure and conversion to part of the Croydon Tramlink network locals commuted in 2-EPB sets which plied the route which followed the River Wandle for much of the journey.
In summer 1987 2-EPB 6312 has left the single track section at Merton Park and is approaching the level crossing on Kingston Road, heading towards Wimbledon. Merton Park station platform is just visible on the left.
