 Hello, thank you for joining me. I'm outside Waterloo station in London today is another episode of branch line Britain And the branch we're going to see has quite a few buildings by the architect James Robb Scott He was the Southern Railways architect the victory arch behind me over there That was also designed by James Robb Scott. So I thought we'd start here I have got to get a train from here to the branch line We're going to do so I'm going to go across the road get my train and we're going to go and find this branch So here we are on the platforms at Waterloo and my train has just arrived to class 455 And we're going to Chessington. We're not going to Chessington World of Adventure So if you're expecting the roller coaster and zoos, I'm sorry just to point you but this isn't what this video is about It's about the branch line that goes to Chessington. So for those of you who have not seen a branch line Britain episode for what we do we go to the branch line we walk along it or not along it along It's the area it serves we have a look at the stations and I catch the train back So this train is going to Chessington South I'm only going to go on it as far as Motspur Park And it's just beyond between Motspur Park and Worcester Park where the branch leaves the main line Which goes down towards Guilford, Dawking, etc So we'll leave this train there and then we'll have a look at some of the stations And as I said they're designed by the architect James Robb Scott So this is the class 455 they haven't got very long in service left So I wanted to do this branch line Britain episode while they're still running This is a 4557 if you have a look the second car I don't know how obvious it is in fact what I'll do I'll show you on this one coming in now This is also 4557 Basically, they're off the mark 3 body shell But one of the carriages is an X class 5 So have a look at the second carriage as it goes by you'll see it slightly different So that's a mark 3 body shell, that's a mark 3 body shell, look at this one So that is the same body shell as you get on a class 508 507 313 314 315 315s at the time of filming are just about still in service out of Liverpool Street Down to a few units but possibly by the time you watch the video they will have been withdrawn But if you want to ride the 455s enjoy them while you can Incidentally the class 707s which are fairly new Don't have much longer in service left out of Waterloo they're all moving to south-eastern So before I get on the trains we'll leave you this view of class 455s Enjoy them while you can So just before we depart Waterloo station on a class 455 These trains are due to be replaced by the class 701 But they haven't yet entered passenger service due to various problems But I won't go into that so we'll wait and see they should be in service soon I'm sort of looking forward to them because it's something new to see I've seen a few of them already but I've not travelled on one As for all the other trains in Waterloo, well I've seen them quite a while ago But as for riding them, I've not quite had all the 455s for haulage I won't ever get the whole class because I didn't get all the southern ones Some of them, all of the southern ones have been scrapped now One or two of the south-west ones have been scrapped This unit I'm sitting in I have travelled on before but the one we're coupled up to I haven't so that is a winning unit and that's So I'll be able to tick that off because it's still powering the same train Even if you're not in it, it still classes as a winning unit So I'm getting a winning unit so I'm happy So I'm hopefully going to get a few other winners in today But I'm just going to enjoy riding these trains while I can And then as I said, it's a branch on Britain episode So we're going to explore the whole area between Moxpur Park and Chessington So here we are, we have arrived at Moxpur Park Which is the junction for the Chessington branch The junction itself, Moxpur Park Junction, is about a quarter mile that way I'm not going to point the camera that way for long because it's very bright in the sun So if you have an idea what Moxpur Park is, it's a typical suburb and suburb You look around, you can see houses on that side And you can see where the shops are, there's a pub there On that side, now the railway line through here opened in 1859 But this station was added as late as 1925 So it's not even 100 years old The Chessington branch is even newer But we'll get onto the dates of the Chessington branch when we get down there The name Moxpur Park comes from, there was a family, the 14th century They had a farm and it was known as Moxpur's Farm And the names gradually become adapted to become Moxpur So then when they decided to open a station here It was known as Moxpur Park There's a few park stations in this area, typical sort of suburbs that grew up Like there's Reigns Park and various other ones in the area There's Worcester Park which is the next station that way beyond the branch We're going to go out the station, that's quite an interesting station So a bit 40 towers, it's because you go up and down and up So we're going to make our way out I've noticed there by the pub, it's a public footpath So you can use the station footbridge to travel through the station Now I've got a London travel card which is what I nearly always buy When I come up to London, occasionally I use Oyster Carter Just give you a look at the station Looking down there towards London There are no ticket barriers here There wouldn't be much room if they wanted to have them We've got a couple of ticket machines There is a ticket office which is open We're going to go up the bridge now And we're going to go out the station So we'll see the station from above We go up here So this is the apex of the two bridges Don't get a lot of steam trains coming through here But this would be quite a good place If a steam train or a charter train came through See a gasometer in the background If the camera's picking it out There is a huge gasometer So we're going to go out the back way of the station There is another nice view of the station itself And then what I'm going to do I'm going to walk as I do in Branch Line Britain I'm going to walk along and visit all of the stations On the branch So you've got two Chessingtons North and South You've got Maiden Manor Or more than Manor, sorry And you've got Tolworth So this is the back entrance to the station But as I said, this is also a public footpath So it's a very suburban commuter line The other Branch Line Britain episodes are done so far The train has operated as a shuttle In a true Branch Line fashion This one, they are through trains But still, it is known as the Chessington branch So here I am on typical London suburban street And I've got a bit of walking to do now Well, seeing as the gates went down I thought I'd just run back and see some class 455s I actually came out that road over there Claremont Avenue As I said, I'm walking to the branch itself Because we can't really see the junction Unless you're on a train So what we're doing, we're going to head down here I'm going to use my OS map There's a couple of things I just wanted to point out here Which aren't directly related to the railway But of interest We're currently in the London Borough of Merton You can just see the sign We're about to cross into the London Borough Of Kingston Just up here, there's a sign It says Royal Borough of Kingston on Thames So we're leaving one borough for another And it looks like, if you have a look There's a river here This is the Beverly Brook So the Beverly Brook marks the boundary So if you have a look there There's Royal Borough of Kingston on Thames Down there Is the Beverly Brook And if we can get across the road It's quite interesting There's an actual old boundary post Let's have a look at this So there's a boundary post It says Morden and Coom And Merton And Morden So that's the boundary post What I'm going to do now Is I'm going to walk that way And we're going to go and find the branch line itself So after walking about a mile or so I've reached the centre of Morden Manor This area here Is I suppose what you could call the village centre It looks like there was a pub here It's now a co-op And as for the Chestingson branch Well, there it is In front of the start is Morden Manor Station It was a fairly late addition Opened in 1925 This line is even later This section opened as late As 1938 It was later extended The Chestingson section is a bit new But we'll get onto that So this branch started off as a short branch From here to Tolworth The next station with this one Intermediate station I don't really like how they painted On the concrete There's no mistake in where we are Look at the hat, that's quite nice You can now get an idea of the architecture The concrete architecture The James Robbscott Designed buildings off the line So he was the Southern Railways architect He did design quite a few Railway stations around The Southern When we did the Bromley North Branch He did design Bromley North Station So we saw another one of his works And there's various other stations around South England, some in London, some further afield Some of them unfortunately like Hastings And Exmouth have been demolished And replaced with buildings which are nothing Like as stylish as these So it's kind of an early form Of Bruton is and works It's 1930s Art Deco built in the 1930s I really like all the curves And everything it has So let's go and have a look inside It appears the station has got A cafe which is quite good We come into here A ticket office So it appears there is a ticket office But it's not currently open I like how the roof sort of steps in There's another thing that quite a few stations have Which is good You can swap books You can pick a book up from here You can take your old books There's even a VHS video So if you still got VHS there Like I have I don't know if that one's going to interest me But you can get them I think Mary is just a couple of oyster The reason I'm not touching in Is because I have a travel card So there's a couple of That goes to the down platform That's the London platform Let's go to the down platform It's an official bridge We're 11 miles and 07 change I thought that is from London Waterloo So let's walk through It's very echoey in here Hear my voice echoing Let's go up to platform 2 It says Old Manor Which is where we are So it was all tile And now it's been painted over So I'm going to go up onto the platform I don't know if there's a train due just yet But we'll have a look And then I'm going to continue walking Because I'm going to visit all the stations Before catching the train back So when we get up here Here we have The station The sort of metro You feel to it It's interesting these little White holes I'm not too sure Is there a train due Not a train due for a quarter of an hour Or about the same as the other side Or slightly this time So what I think I'm going to do Is I'm just going to get on with my walk And we're going to continue This whole work I can just see There's cameras messing around Behind that There's a pile on Which is the main landmark of Tolworth So I'm going to now walk to Tolworth I'm just a little way On from Old Manor Station We're just coming down To the Hogsmill River Near train We might just see the train Through the trees and I'll get on to what's over there They're not the best river train I agree but what I wanted to Show you is Hogsmill River just here Which I need to cross I'm going to continue walking that way Down through the houses So there's two bridges here Over the river so it flows Down that way towards the Thames It's one of the tributaries of Thames I can't really show you very easily If there's so many trees If all these trees weren't here We'd be able to see the most substantial structure On the line, it's a viaduct Which takes the railway over the Hogsmill River Under the viaduct And then that way We'll give us a chance to have a look at What I suppose is the biggest structure On the line, it's just ahead of us here So as I said this park line Opened in 1938 To Tolworth The stations are in quite quick succession About a mile or so between Each station So we get to here It gives you a nice view of the viaduct What we'll do Walk underneath the viaduct And then I'm going to go back That way and continue on I believe it's this section of path That forms the London Loop The orbital path which goes all the way Around London which is something One day I'd like to do I have done this bit Or I don't hopefully remember If it might be on the other side I'll just go under the viaduct Let's go between the arches Just here and we can have a look At the river in the main portion That's quite interesting So here we are, it's very bright with the sun In the winter sun There's a motorbike in the river I don't like, anyway It's unexpected So here we are, you can see the architecture Of the viaduct, I'm going to continue on That way and we're now going to walk towards Tolworth They've managed to see a train From just down there, funny enough That was the same units we came to So they've obviously been back to London The time I've been doing this It's quite nice artwork, along here Under the bridge, which does brightly up It makes a change from the graffiti It's a mosaic, so from a distance You can see the picture, but if we go closer Come close on this fox, just here You can see it's made up of lots of different tiles And everything, so that's really quite nice It certainly, as I said, brightens up The viaduct What we're going to do now though I'm going to cross the Hogsmill River On foot, so I shall later cross it When I go back towards London And we're going to continue through some houses And that should take me on to Tolworth So the river is just down there So that's my next place I'm going to walk to Now here we are, here's the railway line Again, that's looking towards London You can just see Morgan Manor Station In the background now I don't know how the camera's picking up But it gives me the illusion, looking that way That the line is flat here and it goes uphill But it looks like it goes uphill Where the viaduct is And it's flat, it's level And it's now going uphill At this point, so if we go over this rather Wide road bridge Which Takes the, I think it just goes to a school This road, so it doesn't seem to go anywhere But if we look on to the other side You can see The railway goes up And that appears to be a summit And over there I can just see the canopy Of Tolworth Station where the camera's picking up I'm not sure, so it's not too far now You can see that, that building there That is Tolworth Tower That's the main landmark of the area So I haven't got far to go now, I've got to walk over there And let's go and have a look at Tolworth Station So here we are in Tolworth That's Tolworth Tower, designed by the architect George Marsh, the same architect Who designed the centre point tower Right in the heart of London at Tottenham Court Road It's 265 feet high And it was finished in 1964 It looks like it's currently empty It's a big sign saying too let And then going from 1960s Brutalist architecture We go to 1930s Brutalist Stroke Art Deco Architecture You can see this dual carriageway It was obviously here when they built the railway This was the original terminus Because it's got a big enough bridge To carry it over It's not like they've had to put a newer bridge Which is what you quite often see On railway lines when they've had to put a dual Carriageway through Future proof There's the station There's a rather nice painting there Of a deer When the line gets a bit more rural Beyond here I'm going to look out for deer I don't suppose I'll see any but you never know And then like we saw at Malden Manor There is a huge Sign saying Tolworth Just in case you're not sure where you are So I think that's really nice that they've painted This lovely region sign So in Tolworth what we're going to do now though On the platform It's out please This bridge is a bit like the Viaducts over the Hogsmill River But a smaller version Another nice view If you went up Tolworth Tower you'd get a really nice view Aspects of the area Probably the whole walk I've done today You'd be able to see So this is the front of Tolworth Station We're just coming into it now So as I said it's designed By the same architects as the other stations on the line So it has that family Family likeness but they're all a little bit different So we come in here Let's take it off this See the ceiling The other way round is to Old Manor We come into here Again no ticket barriers There's Oystercar readers So that goes up to London platform And We'll go to the Down platform again We should get quite a good view from there Looking across The other interesting thing about this station Is there's still some freight On the branch I believe it's an aggregate terminal at Tolworth So I'm going to see if we can see that I know it exists but I'm not sure exactly where But you do sometimes see trains coming from it Another interesting thing You can see these tiles These are what they would have been Or what they were At Old Manor but they've been painted over You could put adverts in the middle of them Which is quite a nice idea To come up onto the platform Here's a fast four Five-five Line curves off that way This is probably the one We came on I'm suspecting Because Or is it? No, I'm trying to think Because the one that we saw Heading towards Chessington on the Viaduct Was, as I said, the one we went Five Eight, six, two Seven, one, six I don't know, seven, one, three So there must be As soon as one train arrives At Chessington, the other departs We'll have a look at how it works With Chessington when we get there Let's just watch this train pull out You can see it's clearly going off Down a bit of a hill So I think it's the stations That are on the whole level And then the line in between I can just see up there I might be able to have to have a look at the map But I can just see the points that go over To where the freight terminal is So you can see freight trains Coming through here So this was the end of the line for a while For just a year The line opened to here And then they completed the extension To Chessington North and South Which is what we're going to do next Well, there's Tollworth Tower in the background Made it be able to see the Viaduct To the railway over the dual carriageway And we're going to walk through Tollworth Court Farm Fields Nature Reserve So that takes us away from the busy road So far, doing this branch I have been mainly going through residential areas So as we saw back at the station There was a big painting of a deer Like I said, I'm not promising But we might see deer We're basically taking on A much more rural field So I'm going to follow my way through here And then I'm going to... The Bonegate Stream Which I think must be well Look at this, it's gone from... It feels like we're out in Completely out in the rural countryside Sort of a reminder of The rural areas How all of this would have been before they started building up So I'm going to head across there Find the Bonegate Stream, walk along that And then that's where we'll find the two Chessington stations So I've just come across a couple of fields If you hear a buzzing sound, that's because There is a pile on there Here is the Bonegate Stream There's some elm trees here So it's nice to see them still growing Although I'll probably get killed off by a Dutch elm disease eventually So that's looking upstream On the Bonegate Stream And that is looking downstream So that will flow into the Hogsmill River Which we saw earlier And then eventually into the River Tend So I'm going to continue following the river now Along here, I can follow this for quite a way But I will branch off to visit The Chessington stations So let's go and find Chessington itself So here we are We're in Chessington Town Centre There is Chessington North Station Now what I've done, I effectively Rushed the last bit I wanted to get here I need to get the train at 1436 Back in the other way So what we'll do, we'll have a better look At the station then The reason why I'm rushing Back One stop to Tolworth There is still freight on the line A quick look on real-time trains told me There is a freight train due So I need to get that train back To Tolworth and then I can go And see that freight train So I've got to pay and catch my train So here we are, we're back at Tolworth again I've just realised and I should have had a look really When I was here earlier on But the sightings for the aggregate Terminal are just next to the station So if I'd come down there, I'd have seen that So I feel a bit I should have had a look Rather than just looking on the platform Anyway, there goes our train The one we've just arrived And I've got to wait here about a quarter of an hour For the goods train to come along So what will happen is the goods train will pass Through the station where it's just to stop here And then there's a head-jump Now it's not so obvious from here But the head-jump is level Or very slightly going uphill The line itself goes up and even steed for hill And then the train will propel its wagons Reverse into the aggregate terminal That way, I can see how the line really goes up Over a hump over that road And then drops down again So I'm going to go and wait for the goods train to arrive That was quite exciting to see a freight train arrive Just pulling off now So I had to stop There was someone down on the Down at the ground flame So they must do the points To let it into the goods yard So up here, what I'll do I've got a bit of time so my train back To Chessington arrives We're going to see much But we could have a look at The aggregate terminal So it's quite nice Of the branch lines We've looked at so far The only other one where we saw a goods train Was the Greenford branch And that was The Greenford branch is a bit different in its Not a dead-end branch Although the trains are effectively run As a branch It is used by trains from Connecting with the Great Western main line So it's kind of a through line as well But there's no through passenger trains Or at least there There is at the moment, there's one But that's being withdrawn soon Anyway, that's something else But this line is a dead-end line But it does have this freight terminal So the buffers of the freight terminal They're just beyond there So it's nice that this line Still has freight service We'll see more when we get to There was a cold depot As I mentioned, this line was originally Intended to be a through line It wasn't intended to be a branch line But the outbreak of the Second World War Put an end to everything So it's only ever been a branch line But it would have continued to lever head When the track does Or did, we'll find out when we get there Go beyond Chessington So there's some of the tracks There's three tracks in there So I think the local is going to have to And then I suppose It'll run round when it's finished unloading I'm assuming it I think it's loaded There's different types of sand And ballast in those hoppers It'll unload and then The local would run round Pull the train The local would push the train that way And then pull the train out So it's just disappeared now If you have a look here At the end of the platform There's probably signal The train has disappeared So what we'll do when we get on the train We'll have a look at the terminal As we go past providing it's not too busy If the train's really, really busy I might not be able to talk But that is my plan So I'm going to stand here I'm going to wait for my train to take me Back to Chessington now There we are, I'm on the train I'm on the pioneer of the class 455 455 701 I'm sat in the metro But I don't normally sit here Because my train likes to go out the window But when you're looking out the window With a camera This makes quite a good seat So we're going to have a look at the yard As we go past and we should see that class 66 So I haven't yet seen evidence That she's propelling her train Into the yard The train already is in the yard It's actually in There's like a shed there I think she's Very slowly moving backwards As we go by Quite a long train There we go I think maybe it was empty I mean if you know is that an empty Or is that gone there to empty Or to pick up then comment and tell me I'm going to now continue To enjoy the ride Just go past the football stadium To the river I was walking along Just over down there And then we'll walk back down to the river And then we'll continue So we find the end of the ride Here we are back at Chessington North Our train has just departed it was funny Because I was on 455701 And the other unit was 702 So it's like the first two units So it's good to know they're still in service Here we are on the down platform Having a look across there I reckon once they're Chessington North On that board it would be nice to get that restored I think they can paint those really big So I think they can paint one there Same Chessington North if that's what it was Or did it maybe say Southern Railway One or the other Or while we're up here we can have a look at the station architecture from here If we look out down there You can see the roof and everything Looks like that was a lift possibly for luggage It does seem at the moment That none of the stations on the branch are step free So just take note if you're thinking Of doing this line And you know You're going to need lifts But maybe one day They could make that into a lift I'm not sure about the upside But possibly they'll add them in Anyway let's have a look around So we've got the same, seems to be the feature of the line These canopies Concrete canopies which do keep you dry I'll look at that There's a light at the next station for Chessington World Adventure So if you're thinking of doing this branch Take note, don't get off here This is the main town centre I did read somewhere there were plans though To give these stations different names I think I can't remember where I read that one It was something like Chessington Manor Possibly Chessington Park 13 miles and 26 chains now From Waterloo I suppose So it's quite good you can work out exactly how long the line is So that's a bridge we're going to go Down here I know we saw this when we arrived But it was a bit rushed because I wanted to catch That train And now I'm going to have Go along the river So it's been a bit different to have this little ride in the middle Last time we did a ride in the middle Was on the Henley branch because it was the only way of crossing the 10s There simply was no alternative route So here we are Down here we're going out in front of the station I said no ticket barriers There is a ticket office It's interesting that none of the stations on this line have ticket barriers It certainly makes it easier For doing this If you wanted to see a train I did once, the only other time I've seen a local train This branch was There was a buffer puffer rail tour One of those rail tours that goes up and down All the little branch lines And they once ran one with two class 20s It went up the Windsor branch, up this branch The Hampton Court branch and various other lines So I have seen class 20s pass through here So I have seen local train on the section of the line So there's the station Quite a brutalist looking building I do really quite like it I'm going to walk back to the river now And then we're going to find Chessington South It's the Bonegate Brook Again, so I'm going to follow that along here Talking of rivers and Edges of London boroughs There once again Is the London Borough of Kingston Earlier on we saw the Beverly Brook Was the boundary between the Borough of Kingston And the Borough of Merton If you look across the road There's a sign That's the Borough of Eulah Netson So it seems the Bonegate Brook Is the boundary between those two boroughs So what we're going to do now though We're going to go down here I've noticed there's also another fairly long distance path Or semi long distance path The Thames Down Link That is a long distance path Formed purely to provide a link Between two other long distance paths It links the Thames path And the North Downs path So that's quite funny That there's a long distance path Purely to link to long distance paths It's starting to get a bit misty now I'm getting close to the evening So I'm going to really get on And walk to Chessington South I have, to be honest, gone the longer route The more interesting route I could have just gone straight But I've chosen to go along by a river And pile on So I'm going to continue this way now I think it's fair to say I've literally reached the end of London And the urban area Coming out here now into a field So that way is looking back towards London The area is There are some houses over there That's the edge of Chessington And then literally out into open countryside Over there somewhere would be Chessington World of Adventures The Fiend Park I did go there once when I was a teenager I haven't been most disappointed They've just taken up the miniature railway I did have a go on the monorail But it's pretty not so unlikely to go again If it had a miniature railway Of course I'd be going this Unfortunately Fort Park had a two foot gauge railway That's gone Alton Towers had a miniature railway Or narrow gauge railway years ago I did make a video at Alton Towers A couple of years ago I would at this point say have a look at the link on screen now But unfortunately my memory card got corrupted And I lost all the footage and that video was never published And I just didn't see it viable To pay to go in again And re-record it also I haven't done particularly well With Fiend Parks and making videos I don't say never To anywhere but it's unlikely I'll be making a video at Chessington World of Adventures anytime soon But I can never say never Anyway I need to actually go back to Chessington I think that would be the best thing I followed this walk which is really nice And it's worked quite nicely with Doing the branch line Britain episode That we could look at all the stations And at the same time we could do Quite a pleasant walk Now looking out across there The camera's not really picking it up There's a really nice setting of the sky And you know just the back drop The camera's not doing it justice Anyway on this side we have A few oak trees Young oak trees And older oak trees And then fields across there So the What's it called the Bonegate stream The valley of it runs just along down there It's getting really Quite sort of misty on the fields I don't see any deer this would be where I can almost imagine seeing one Just yeah No there's no deers today Anyway so I've effectively walked along The woods up there from the stream itself I'm going to continue now down to the stream And then we've got to go and find Chessington Self Station Well it's nearly getting dark now We've come across the fields And we're back into the urban Area of Chessington And we've nearly finished the video now Up to Chessington South Station It's just across the road Just there but before we look at that My plan is to go onto the railway bridge And I want to see what happens To the railway line beyond here If there is anything To see I know it was a coal terminal for a while And then I understand There's talk of making that also into an aggregate terminal So I'm not too sure But anyway that's the stage future Which bus is about to hide So let's have a look at that After that Chessington South Station Just there There's these big gates here That almost looks like it could be An aggregate terminal Let's just have a look, see what the bridge Is going to reveal Well it's the final bridge we're going to come to 13 miles and 79 chains And interesting there's tracks So what I'll do, I'll go over the bridge This side and then we'll come back over the other side So there is definitely A track in place Looks as though that's interesting So you can see there's a crossover I don't know how obvious it is on the camera It'll just be on the crossover There's a fence across so maybe there are trains now I'll have to look on real time trains See if there are any freight Beyond Chessington itself So the station is on the other side At the moment you Cannot travel under this bridge On a passenger train but Can we get across, yeah we can get across We'll go over to the other side And then we'll look down On the station And expect us to train this If you've just come to the Chessington World Adventures you'd come out here And there's a sign there So you follow that sign Not going to do that today But yeah, just if you do Come along Across the road Just to save time Across the road So Chessington South Station So Chessington North is kind of The main one, the one everyone uses Less people probably Use Chessington South If we look down here we should be able to see The train just down there So here we go There's a glass 4.5 Just down there That is as far as passenger trains go I'm tempted to when I get on Get on right down this end As far as I can possibly go Now we're not going to see very well unless the train Literally leaves now but There is a platform on the other side With a canopy It's never been used because this line When it got to here in 1939 This was never meant to be terms So that's why it's got very much the feeling Of a through station Interestingly this seems to be the only one On the branch we've seen that you go down To track level, all of the others You went up, so we're going to go Down there now And it was planned to go to Leatherhead It didn't ever happen, that was a big thing They're saying big painting Welcome to Chessington South The plan was for the line to go to Leatherhead If you want to go beyond here Now you have to go above us It never made it beyond here to Leatherhead Maybe that's a video for another day To explore what would happen But there's various other railways that have done similar things The Northern Heights project Was a project that was cancelled on the northern line The central line was going to go down Of the Second World War So this is the station It doesn't look so imposing But I think that's because you're going down Let's go in and have a look See what Chessington South Station Has to offer us They're just coming in now There's a ticket machine It doesn't even appear to be a ticket office So trying to also Do Maybe there would have been a bridge Across there thinking about it Had it been The Frew station There are various other stations around That are terminated That were never intended to be terminated But they're not that common So here we are down on the platform It's going in a couple of minutes Let's just walk right to the end They say platform one Because There's only one platform So I reckon if you look up there That would Was not intended to be there The bridge would have gone across Down and onto the other platform If it was daylight Which is pretty much dark now I'd show you through the window What there is Or do I wait I kind of want to get back to London now Because if I have to wait here It would be half an hour's wait With really nothing to do But let's go right to the very end Of the last mainboard on this line Let's go right to the end And just see what we can see I'm not going to go past the point Of course you can't really see it But there we are Pass 455 455 75 So from Chessington south station Thank you very much for watching Please do feel free to like, subscribe And comment I'm going back to London now
