Unusually, a goods train was passing, its nearest wagon bearing the name Hanson suggesting that it was carrying building materials. It may well have come from one of the many large construction projects in the Nine Elms area, beyond the end of the train. Trains on the bridge ahead are coming from Victoria and heading towards Clapham Junction (or vice versa). Such trains are carried over Waterloo-bound trains.
