Towards Horley Station

Looking south from the footbridge in Image On the left can be seen the subway built to replace the level crossing at this site after Station Road was severed when the London to Brighton railway was quadrupled in 1903. The original 1841 Horley Station was here, before being replaced in 1905 by the current one, seen in the background. A Southern Class 377 Electrostar is approaching on the up fast line on a London bound service. In the background, another London bound Class 377 waits in the station on the up slow line, while a Gatwick Airport bound Class 460 Gatwick Express can just be seen having passed through the station on the down fast line (the left hand track).
