A lovely post. I'm saying nothing more on this subject, other than to wholeheartedly agree with this:

"When seen from the London train, it tells me I am nearly home. In fact, optical illusion though it may be, it appears to be galloping in the same direction."

You and I have probably seen that view from the train more times than any of the other contributors to this particular thread. The horse does absolutely appear to be galloping in the same direction as the train.

But you know that is just an impression and not the basis for a theory about the horse and any change in it's direction that might be assumed from your observation .

Although I was a regular commuter between Bath and London for some time , I have no doubt that you have travelled that route far more often than I.
But I wouldn't suggest that gave me any better understanding of the problems discussed than someone who had never set foot or sat arse in a train in the area .
