Old railway line converted to footpath - not really
Image: © JOHN PARKIN Taken: 2 Feb 2009
You would be forgiven for thinking that this picture, taken after heavy overnight snow in February 2009, is of a former railway line converted into a footpath. You can just see a mile post, but many of these do still appear on such footpaths. In reality it is a view from the Beeches Avenue / Park Lane footbridge at Carshalton Beeches Station looking towards Sutton. In time the rails will reappear and trains will run again. No Dr. Beeching here!!
