Two of Southern's fleet of class 455 electric units while away the weekend at platform 1 of Tattenham Corner station, while on the extreme right one of the same company's class 456 units awaits departure for London Bridge. Platform 1 seems to be used mostly for storing trains overnight and at weekends, but it also has a large gate near the buffer stops which appears to be there to provide direct access to Epsom Racecourse for passengers from the Royal Train. The white structure in the centre of the picture is a large mirror to enable train drivers to check that the trains doors can be closed without injuring passengers.
