Commuters on Surrey's trains are being warned about potential disruption to services this week.

South Western Railway say people should only travel if it's absolutely necessary from today (Wednesday 27 December) until Friday (29 December) between Woking and Basingstoke.

A severely reduced service will operate between Basingstoke and Woking while repairs continue at a landslip near Brookwood.

Amended train timetable this week

On Saturday 30 December, a revised Saturday timetable will operate.

On Sunday 31 December 2023, New Year's Eve, a revised Sunday timetable will operate and services will end earlier than usual. Customers travelling to London to attend the fireworks display are advised to only travel if they have a ticket for the event. Customers without tickets will not be permitted entry to the event.

Transport for London (TfL) will not be offering free travel on New Year’s Eve. Some TfL services, including most of the Tube, will run all night.

On Monday 1 January 2024, New Year’s Day, additional services will run between midnight and 5am, for customers returning from festivities in the capital. A revised Sunday timetable will operate thereafter and customers should check before travelling.

A normal service will resume on Tuesday 2 January.
