That might be the piece that was parked in Elm Road, a little north of
the level crossing, at about 12:40 today; about TQ 2075 6850. OTOH
Motspur Park is on a different line from Raynes Park.


Motspur Park is the next station after Raynes Raynes on a branch off
the main line.


My meaning was that, starting from Raynes Park, Motspur Park is not on
the same route as Elm Road. Coming from London by train, one turns left
at RP to get to MP, but one turns right at New Malden (by underpass near
Elm Road) to get to ER, Norbiton, etc. The Elm Road level crossing is,
of course, not main line; but the bridge being worked on supports the
main Waterloo-Southampton line.

Query : there are three holes under the main line near Elm Road level
crossing. One is for Elm Road; one is used by trains from New Malden to
Norbiton. Why the third, parallel to and north of the second?
