CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS
There will be considerable disruption for travellers during the railway station works.
Access to the station forecourt will be restricted at times during the improvement works and the main station car park will be completely closed for 3-4 months.
Surrey County Council, in partnership with Haslemere Vision and SWT, has been working to identify and communicate possible alternative ways of getting to the station for those that currently drive.
We are looking for volunteers.
Would you be willing to spend 1 hour being trained by Surrey County Council’s Travel Smart team? You could be part of a team of local volunteers helping to advise train passengers about the different travel options to the station during the car park closure.
To show your interest, please contact the Surrey Travel Smart team travelsmart@surreycc.gov.uk.
