I need this train station to help with travel to work and I have to get a train to get to godalming on the weekends and late nights/ early mornings when there is no bus so having a train would benefit this travel

By having the train station currently it will help the economy grow and the population will be greater and younger because there will be a lot of tourist coming through the town daily

With the 'village' of Cranleigh having a population which is growing rapidly and now exceeds that of towns such as Dorking or Leatherhead, it must be time for the authorities - both central and local - to revisit this oversight as soon as possible.

This would be a good way of not having to get to Guildford in the early morning rush on our overcrowded roads.

These railway lines
This would certainly benefit
The Public
And would have more choice of
Rail journeys.

The re-instatement of Guildford to Cranleigh Rail Link would be a good start to revealing road traffic.
DAVE HARDING
with more and more cars on the roads we need more of these lines reopened,i would definatley use the train to guildford
paul norton
The future benefits of all road users
is to look to the past and open up
these old rail lines

This would greatly reduce the amount of commuter car journeys to Guildford and to the London Mainline.
It would also assist daytime journeys to Guildford

cranleigh station was closed more than 50 years ago by replacement bus and I seen heavy traffic on road from there to guildford is problem for buses!!!
Owen Carlstrand
Seems to me to be an obvious solution, nit only opening alternative north south capacity but helping reduce the lunatic traffic in and around Guildford and the surrounding towns and villages
Freddie Metheringham
very good idea to reopen this line
Richard Olej
This railway line should be re-opened NOW. The sheer volume of cars on the parallel road more than adequately makes the case.
Kaelan Morris
Reopen this line
Joe Erwood
This line must be reopened
Alan Wise
The traffic growth on the A281 from Cranleigh and the surrounding roads towards Guildford is getting worse annually..With the many house building projects now planned in and around Cranleigh it`s only a matter of time before we reach gridlock !!! It is now the right time to rebuild part of the old Guildford Horsham line from Cranleigh towards Guildford.It would only require a simple 2 coach train single track that could run alongside the existing downslink bridleway.With the huge population explosion.People living much longer.And almost everyone wanting a car.The situation as it is cannot continue.
Kelly
Open the line
Simon Prudence
Very familiar with this route. Think it has a strong case for reopening as a functional railway for local people.
Simon hall
With the prospect of Dunsfold becoming a small town this makes the case to reopen the line from Guildford to Horsham. Other wise a break down in the transport system
M Hardy
We need to build a sustainable low-carbon transport network for the 21st Century
Richard Pill
I want Guildford-Cranleigh-Horsham-Shoreham reopened as one through route with bypasses where necessary. A need to protect route is understood.
Robert McBride
This line would assist in keeping road traffic down in an expanding area.
David Poynter
I believe the reopening of this line is long overdue. With the population increases and new housing this line would be of great benefit. It would also allow other journey opportunities for Horsham, and Guildford residents.

Please bring back this line into use.
I do not have a car and cannot get to see my elderly mother who lives at Elmbridge
Audrey porter
Bring back the railway!
Kenneth Potter
I am sure the reopening of this line would help reduce the traffic on the southern approach to Guildford from Horsham. It would serve a large catchment area, with especially Bramley, Cranleigh and Ewhurst benifitting.
Rick Kimber -Blackwater Valley FoE
This line is certainly needed particularly if the Dunsfold development is given the green light
Paul Meek
Living in Wonersh I would use this line weekly
Anonymous
Would be a very welcome link through to Guildford, would certainly use it rather than drive.
John Sansbury
Anyone commuting into Guildford from the Horsham direction would absolutely welcome this proposal as alleviating the A281 jams and the Bramley bottleneck!

The more interconnectivity the better to relieve the roads and allow the railway to expand.
Brian longley
This line is needed lot of new homes in this area

Railway is the way forward for clean public transport and cut traffic into Guildford

I have family in Cranleigh who would use the railway if reinstated

Beechings remit was to make make British Railways ( as it was then ) pay, compleatly regardless of any social consequences in the 1960,s.As was shortly to be seen just three years after closure in 1965, Cranleigh started expanding with all the new housing, and all the road traffic problems through Cranleigh that it has brought.
Joe
Cycled downslink loads and it would create another route to london
Michaela Overton
Wherever a railway existed should have remained as a railway and be left to enable access to any designated place etc.
Michaela Overton
All lines should be accessible and not interfered. Putting them back should make a big difference by making travelling convenient. I hope it all goes along.
Michaela Overton
I sign because all railway lines should be restored and improve travelling services, that is if the government wants to reinstate the lines, but there could be doubt. Pity that all lines were cut including Crystal Palace High Level.

Now Dunsfold aerodrome is to be built on a revived rail link to Cranleigh is needed more than ever,the line to Guildford should never have been closed.

We need the line reopened! Guildford and Cranleigh's roads are becoming gridlocked and this would provide much needed congestion relief and be environmentally friendly two!

I bet 90% of people voting to get the railway reinstated don't live anywhere near the line. I live withim 200 yards of the line and it would reduce the value of my house by hundreds of thousands of pounds therefore I am against the reopening of the line. I moved to this area 25 years ago due to its quite and peaceful nature and the railway would ruin this and then due to the reduced value of my house I wou be able to afford to move away. So no thanks.

Has anyone considered reopening the line as a heritage line using steam engines? It could provide a transport link on weekdays using diesel engines, and then switch to steam engines for a tourist attraction at weekends. Maybe it could be funded privately by local investors?
