The first M&S trolley for a while and probably the one which was furthest from its home, just outside Ewell West railway station. The framework looked to me as if it had been outside for some time, but I did not think that detracted in any way from M&S's duty to take it back.
It was also getting on a bit and I decided against pushing it back to Epsom, catching the train instead, perhaps a 10 minute wait. Journey uneventful apart from the ticket machine at the station being very slow and delivering a different ticket, albeit printed on the same blank, to the one which one would get from Epsom Station. Perhaps a Southwest Trains machine rather than a Southern machine?
Getting the trolley on and off the train not a problem, but I decided against taking the thing down the stairs at Epsom, using the lift provided instead.
No-one at M&S objected to the slightly scruffy state of the trolley.
So a first; the first time that I have taken a shopping trolley on a train. Perhaps the next venture would be to take one down to Bognor for the day, using it for one's picnic and beach gear. How many people would comment? Or would they all look the other way and pretend that you were not there?
