‘Against The Tide’ – Clapham Jcn-Box Hill & Westhumble (1118+)

Motspur Park – a mother and daughter discussing the news from a discarded paper lying on the seat. A conversation about how the theft of diamonds might be made viable by breaking the rocks down into smaller jewels, in order to pass them off on the open market. Epsom – a car park filled to capacity. The exodus of drivers ‘up in town’ supplementing fuel for their vehicles (amongst other staples of 21st century life). Leatherhead – a man struggling to operate a vending machine. A sort of ‘one arm bandit’ for snacks. The long haul in the autumn sun. Slow trains, missed connections and delays. Rewind to travelling the ‘branch lines’ of Portugal and Spain.
