Customer advice:

South Western Railway will be possibly having to make some changes to services from Guildford to London Waterloo, so as to provide a more reliable and resilient service during the period of hot weather.

This will mean that customers on services from Guildford to London Waterloo calling at Worplesdon, Woking, West Byfleet, Byfleet & New Haw, Weybridge, Walton-on-Thames, Hersham, Esher, Surbiton, New Malden, Raynes Park, Wimbledon, Earlsfield, Clapham Junction and London Vauxhall may experience short-notice alterations and changes to their service.

This is due to a set of points in the Woking area that at high rail temperatures can impact the normal operation of infrastructure and equipment. South Western Railway are working towards a full renewal of these points next year.If you need any help with your journey, please speak to a member of staff or use a station help point.
