    Await confirmation on this - it’s subject to change.

    I notice there is currently a speed restriction at West Hoathly through some of the station site and across New Coombe bridge. I assume this is for winter tracklaying and hopefully there's nothing structurally wrong with the bridge itself?

    10MPH TSR due to track condition from just north of West Hoathly Foot Crossing (ish) to New Coombe Bridge. It’s due to be relaid in January/February during the winter shutdown.

    Interesting and sad at the same time. I see Dec 27 running has been added being the free day I have on our Christmas trip to do something, but trains only running to West Hoathly??

    Assuming this is due to the winter maintenance needs. Too bad, I had really hoped to maybe see some snowy winter steam.

    Cheers,

    Stephen
