Description
Did you know there was a few years back in the early 1990's when Thameslink ran services through Central London, and then went down to Croydon, Sutton, Epsom all the way to Guildford.

Let's go back to a time when cassette tapes were the only way to listen to music when on the train ...

NB. There is a fabulous photo of a Class 319 at Effingham Junction with the Network SouthEast clock here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Effingham_Junction_station_geograph-3452435-by-Ben-Brooksbank.jpg
