Battle plan on rail links

Train fans battling to reopen disused rail links between Guildford, Horsham and Shoreham have drawn up new action plans.

Members of The English Regional Transport Association have been campaigning for years to reopen sections of rail lines which have been shut since the 1960s. And at a public meeting in Horsham they spelled out their new battle plans. They aim to get councils and MPs to support reopening the links by commissioning studies and by courting funding.

They see reopening the Guildford-Horsham stretch via Cranleigh as phase 1 with a link from Horsham, Arundel and Shoreham as phase two.
