I started my day early, at Chiswick Stn at 0747hrs!

Then to Clapham Junction for Southern 377127

I took this to East Croydon, then walked to West Croydon:

The reason for Croydon - the feeder service to Uxbridge:

Josh met me at Worcester Park on the feeder, which was empty!

Josh then left us at Hatton Cross (after going to Heathrow Central):
