Redhill to London commute advice

[jamieb73]

Hi there

I am due to move down to Reigate next month. However the recent news of rail services being closed by Southern, how are the services from Redhill to London in the morning please? I was hoping to get the 07.11am train. How reliable is it and will I get a seat please?

Grateful for any feedback

Jamie

Given the current situation with Southern, you're probably best braving a GWR service to Dorking or Guildford and using SWT services.

At present no can can honestly say how reliable a service is sometimes certain trains run other days they don't giving the current situation I use Purley station and it's like a lottery every day give yourself extra time and when you wake up check live train running but don't use a trai as close to your start time at present until the current dispute is resolved as you may end up late for work I would give yourself plenty of time at present

Not reliable at all I am sorry to say, do check the new timetable next week though to see which trains are running, hopefully it will improve....

Might be worth checking the 'Recent Times Trains' web site, which will tell you individual trains' reliabilities.

Isn't the 07:11 a Thameslink service though? I thought that these - compared to Southern - should have less issues, if I understood all the things I've read on this forum well enough.

I'm sure we'll soon have some redundant Pacers we can send down to help you out.

I would say move somewhere else I'm afraid.

Or down to Gatwick and hop on a TL/GatEx into London.
