Services are provided by Southern and South Western Railway, offering routes to London Victoria, London Bridge, Waterloo, Guildford, and Horsham. This provides commuters with a degree of flexibility, although the routes are secondary lines, meaning journey times may be longer than from stations on more direct lines.
