Recommended service - hourly, according to the GWRUS. Let's work towards that service and towards ensuring all services are used.

Train Derailed After Landslip
« on: January 13, 2007, 02:38:51 PM »
The 1059 GMT Southern service from Bognor Regis to London Victoria is stuck between Merstham and Coulsdon South , to the north of Redhill (link below.)

Wheels at the front of the train "jumped the rail", a Southern Railway spokesman said , but the carriage remained upright.

There were no reports of any injuries , but services will be disrupted during Saturday afternoon (13/01/'2007)
