New rail service could link Surrey to stations across the country
Leatherhead and Dorking Advertiser
|May 01, 2025
PLANS have been announced for a new train service that would run from Brighton to Newcastle, and would connect Surrey with stations across the country.
-
The Arriva Group has submitted an open access application to Network Rail with a proposal to run five trains per day in each direction, along what would be the first direct route between the two cities.
The service would be operated by Grand Central, and could be introduced from December 2026.
The proposed route would include stops in Guildford, Redhill and London Gatwick.
