A landslip near the village of Godstone, connecting Tonbridge to Redhill, has resulted in significant damage to the railway. The line is temporarily closed to allow for necessary repairs and is expected to re-open by the end of March 2020.

What does this mean for me?

Please allow plenty of time to reach your destination, as your journey will take longer than it usually would. You will need to use a replacement bus service or an alternative rail route for either all or part of your journey.

Full information about how the train service is affected can be found here. Our colleagues over at Network Rail have an explanation together with photographs showing the extent of the damage, and works required here.

What service is available during the week, Monday to Friday?

A rail replacement bus service is running between Redhill, Nutfield (Memorial Hall), Godstone and Edenbridge, in place of cancelled trains.

Connecting trains run between Edenbridge, Penshurst, Leigh and Tonbridge in both directions, except for some very early and very late journeys, when buses are extended to/from Tonbridge.

• If you're using Nutfield station, a separate minibus service is running between Nutfield station and Redhill, in both directions.
• If you're travelling from Edenbridge or Godstone and you need Nutfield station, please either travel to Nutfield (Memorial Hall) on the full-size buses, or travel to Redhill and change there for the minibus service to Nutfield Station.
• If you're travelling from Nutfield towards Godstone or Edenbridge, please either use the bus stops at Nutfield (Memorial Hall), or use the minibus service from the station to Redhill, changing there for the full-size buses towards Godstone and Edenbridge.

What service is available on weekends, Saturday and Sunday?

At weekends, a rail replacement bus service is running over the whole route between Redhill and Tonbridge (in both directions). The minibus service will also continue to operate between Nutfield and Redhill stations.

Where can I board the replacement bus service?

You can view pick up and drop off locations by clicking here. Alternatively, information is available at your local station or by visiting the designated web-page linked at the start of this message.

Please note that at Redhill, all buses and minibuses will drop off passengers at the rear entrance to the station on Redstone Hill. Step-free access is available opposite the Toby Carvery restaurant / rear car park entrance, then via the walkway outside Platform 3; or under the large railway bridge and via the main station entrance on Princess Way.

Can I travel from another station and park my car there instead, too?

The following alternatives are available to you at no additional cost, regardless of the type of ticket you have:

• If you're travelling between Edenbridge, Penshurst or Leigh and stations in the London area, you may wish to use Southeastern services between Tonbridge, Hildenborough (near Leigh), London Bridge and London Charing Cross. From London Bridge or London Charing Cross, you can use London Underground services to other London terminals at no additional cost.
• If you're travelling between Redhill and Tonbridge, you can travel via London Bridge, using Thameslink services from Redhill, and Southeastern services between London Bridge and Tonbridge. The same applies in the opposite direction.
• If you're travelling between Leigh, Penshurst or Edenbridge and East Croydon, alternative Southern trains on the Uckfield line serve Edenbridge Town, which is about a 10-15 minute walk from Edenbridge station.
• You may also travel from stations between East Grinstead and Oxted, and from stations between Caterham and Purley.
• If you hold a valid car parking season ticket, you may park your car at the alternative station you decide to travel from listed above, subject to availability.

Engineering work between Shepherds Bush and Wembley Central means the line towards Watford Junction will be blocked until approximately 12:00.

Customer Advice

The direct route between Shepherds Bush and Wembley Central will be closed to trains. Southern services which would usually run between Clapham Junction and Watford Junction will be amended. These trains will only be running between Clapham Junction and Shepherds Bush.

First trains to operate:

The first train to run through to Watford Junction will be the 12:05 Clapham Junction to Watford Junction service.

The first train to run from Watford Junction to Clapham Junction will be the 13:23 Watford Junction to Clapham Junction service.

Travel advice:

If you are travelling between Clapham Junction / Imperial Wharf / Kensington Olympia / Shepherds Bush and either Harrow & Wealdstone or Watford Junction, and you wish to travel before these services run, Southern recommend you use the following:

• London Overground services between Clapham Junction and Willesden Junction (this Sunday, these trains will generally have a destination of Gospel Oak)
• London Overground services between Willesden Junction and Watford Junction (this is part of the all-stations Overground route between London Euston and Watford Junction)

You can also use Southern services as far as Shepherds Bush, but you will need to change at Shepherds Bush for a service to Willesden Junction, and then again at Willesden Junction for Watford Junction.

Can you tell me more about the engineering works?

Network Rail are undertaking major engineering works until midday in the West London area. This means that the lines usually used by Southern services will be closed.

The engineering works will include track maintenance, structural engineering work, inspections of the overhead lines and signalling maintenance.
