It wasn't hard to find this eye-catching collection of cess pictures - the railway is littered with loathsome linesides. We'll keep our eyes peeled for other purlers as we tour the network and if you have any photos which tell a similar story, email them to us and they'll be featured here.
Of course, investment is meaningless without ongoing maintenance. Some West Coast cesses are already looking neglected. And at Tadworth (right), the 'cess path' has been lost in the undergrowth.
