The one that got away

A large trolley abandoned on West Hill, by the alley leading down the back of what used to be the Eclipse public house, now flats. A trolley from Morrisons, so probably from the store in Sutton. Possibly arrived by train, with the store being near Sutton Station and the trolley being perhaps a quarter of an hour's push from Epsom Station. But, as ever, one wants the missing back story. How did this particular trolley come to end up here, in this particular place?

I thought about taking it back to Sutton, perhaps this morning if was still there, but decided that it would take too big a chunk out of the day, possibly interfering with luncheon, despite the interesting conversations that might be provoked by the spectacle of me taking the thing on the train.

A pity in the sense that it would have been very nearly exactly a year since the only previous occasion that I have taken a trolley on a train. See reference 1.
