Bourne flood at Whyteleafe
The Caterham Bourne only flows after several weeks of heavy rain. It is purely a groundwater flood and will probably last a few more weeks. The road (A22) is closed.

An up train leaves Whyteleafe station
The first proposals for a railway along the Caterham Valley came in 1836 with the object of building a new London to Dover line through a mile long tunnel under the North Downs. It proved too costly and the existing line via Redhill was used. Instead Caterham received a branch line, built by Caterham Railway, a private company, and opened in 1856. The original purpose was to provide a convenient method of transporting the valuable building stone from the quarries at Godstone to London. Soon though the original purpose was overtaken by wealthy Victorian commuters using the line as the Caterham Valley developed. There were early frustrations for these commuters, for example, in the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway arranging for the connecting train at Godstone Road (now Purley) station to leave one minute before the Caterham train arrived. The Caterham branch was increased from single to double track by January 1st 1900 and Whyteleafe station was opened on the same day. A train is just leaving on its way to Kenley. Riddlesdown is on the horizon.
