Epsom Downs is one of two stations (the other is Tattenham Corner)
for Epsom racecourse that are at their busiest during Derby week, and on Derby
Day itself frequently saw the Royal Train stabled here. Originally boasting
four long platforms and complicated signalling arrangements that were used just
for race days, today it is reduced to just one platform.
Epsom Downs station taken in September 2003. The line has been truncated and the station itself moved further north to make way for a housing development. A class 455 unit, 5845 is waiting in the sole platform to depart for Victoria. Services run hourly to Victoria Monday to Saturday with no service on Sundays. photograph by Paul Ferbrache |

surrounding houses. The station building itself is now a nursery with the
entrance to the platforms being round the side!
