An hourly replacement bus service will operate between Horsham and Holmwood, Warnham and Dorking (Main), in both directions. This will connect with train services running between Dorking (Main) and London Victoria. If you are travelling from Horsham, please use the alternative Southern or Thameslink train services. You can also use your ticket to travel at no extra cost on Metrobus route 93 between Horsham and Dorking. If you are travelling to / from Ockley: Replacement buses running between Horsham and Dorking are unable to serve Ockley due to a road closure between the A24 and the station.

The direct Horsham - London Victoria service will either be cancelled; or terminate at Dorking (Main) and start back from there. Can you tell me more about the incident? A landslip was reported in the Ockley area on Friday evening, and a temporary arrangement was put in place for this weekend to allow some trains to run through the area, as this route is being used as a diversion for other engineering work taking place elsewhere on our network. To allow for permanent repair work to commence, specialist Network Rail teams and equipment will need access to the track and surrounding embankment – meaning that all lines through this route will be blocked until this work is complete. A full line closure is expected from today, Monday 26 until at least Friday 30 January, between Horsham and Dorking (Main). There is a possibility that this timescale will be extended, but we will keep you updated throughout the week with progress. Landslips can happen for a number of reasons, including severe weather. Areas at risk of landslips are monitored proactively to ensure that the track is safe, and Southern also receive reports from train crews of any risks to the railway.
