Is anyone else in London Bridge station waiting to see if the 11 am train ( bye 11.12) will be stopping in Mertsham ?
Are you on a train Gabriella? We're not far from Merstham station, can wait if you're coming.
There's horse racing at Epsom Downs today (1st race 2.05, last 5.35). The public footpaths across the course are closed on Derby Day but might be kept open today between the races. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Yes, the footpaths across the course were open between races (with marshals present on the gates). Our resident racing expert said this is the usual practice, possibly excepting Derby Day.
