Feedback from the Network Rail - Reigate Rail consultation

The Network Rail proposal includes plans to widen and extend platform 2, creating a third platform to accommodate longer 12-carriage trains terminating at Reigate and turning back towards London.  

Of the 429 responses they received as part of of their survey, 87% of respondents supported the infrastructure upgrade and 72% supported the proposed service alterations, which would allow direct trains to London Bridge and beyond.  

Thank you for taking the time to attend their information sessions and completing the survey. Your feedback will be used to further shape our designs and inform their next steps.

Here are the top five themes in your responses:

·         Concerns over the proposed service pattern presented
·         Encouragement and support to complete the project as soon as possible
·         Concerns over the level crossing/upgrade requests
·         Requests to improve ticket barriers/machines/ticket office
·         The need for more information about the project

They've also put together a feedback report containing more information about the project and FAQs.
