Approach to foot crossing over the railway
A branch line along the Chipstead Valley from the Brighton Main Line was first projected in 1884. This scheme failed to take off. The line from Purley East Junction to Kingswood & Burgh Heath was eventually opened on 2nd November 1897 as a single track and this was doubled during 1899. The line finally reached Tattenham Corner on 4th June 1901 - Derby Day. The railway provides attractive views of Chipstead Valley and it is certainly one of the pleasantest rides within London Travelcard Zone 6, even though most of it is in Surrey.
This foot crossing passes around the back gardens of houses in Forest Drive and then up the driveway of one to reach Forest Drive.

Electrostar at Kingswood
One of the newer trains operating the Tattenham Corner branch line on a Sunday afternoon. The sign in the foreground presumably warns drivers of the risk of slipping on wet leaves when leaving the station. Beyond that the "W" sign indicates to Whistle (hoot) because there is a footpath crossing the line just round the bend at TQ252568.
