Southern have suggested they hope to run an evening service from Victoria to Redhill (leaving Victoria at xx:09 & xx:39 to 23:39). They cannot confirm they can because it depends on numbers of Drivers/Guards turning up – they will not know if they can until late Monday Morning – they will publicise if it does happen.
Alternative Travel
DORKING (All services running as normal)
- Southern will run DOO services to/from Victoria roughly every half hour – they take about an hour as they stop at most stations via Sutton

ALTERNATIVE KINGSWOOD (or Chipstead)
- A little known station on the Tattenham Corner branch which is just over the other side of the M25 – about 10 mins drive from Reigate/Redhill.
