Information
By Rail
The Surrey Hills is very well served by public
transport, particularly by rail. Lying midway
between London and the south coast, travelling
times are remarkably fast – to the centre of London,
to the rest of the UK, to the Channel ports and on to
Europe with Eurostar services to Paris and Brussels
from London St Pancras .

major routes (to the North, to Wales, the Channel
