If you have seen Surbiton - or any London station - like this you must be getting up early.
Gemma Wilding's snap was taken at 5.30am yesterday morning and shows a near empty station bathed in beautiful dawn sunlight.
Only seeing a few people on the platform is a rare site for a station serving nearly 4m people a year. Her picture is also a near dead-ringer for the work of acclaimed photographer Steve McCurry - whose famous picture Morning Glory shows Old Delhi station in India. For an exceedingly busy station, usually packed with frustrated commuters, Surbiton may have given more than its fair share of inspiration.
Daniel Radcliffe and Sir Michael Gambon filmed a key emotional scene in Harry Potter here. And that very scene inspired a Texan man to fly to the UK and propose to his girlfriend on the platform from the movie - only for it to nearly be scuppered by weekend train cancellations.
