There is a significant amount of disruption coming from various level crossing closures on the railway line through the parish. Below is the relevant text of the email from network rail. They have set up a dedicated webpage at https://www.networkrail.co.uk/NorthDownsLine which will be regularly updated as the work progresses.
Dear Stakeholder,
Upcoming engineering work between Guildford and Reigate, Saturday 1 to Sunday 16 February 2025
I am writing to remind you that between Saturday 1 and Sunday 16 February, Network Rail engineers will be carrying out a large programme of works on the North Downs line, between Guildford and Reigate.
These works include renewing the tracks over a bridge on the River Wey in Shalford, stabilising an embankment in Gomshall and renewing the signalling and level crossings along the line.
Level crossing works
At times we will need to close the level crossing we are upgrading to carry out the work, and signed diversions will be in place. During full road closures, pedestrians won’t have access to the crossings, but minibuses will be arranged to help any pedestrians around the closure. Half road closures close the crossings to single lane access with temporary traffic lights, and pedestrians can use the crossing.
Please find the list of road closures below:
