    In fairness, the 4150 Fund has issued monthly restoration updates and annual newsletters on their website in the same way as the 82045 Fund does. http://www.4150.org.uk/4150_news.html It's probably gone under the radar on here because nobody...

    Why would they need to go via Guildford? Even if they needed to go via Guildford, the simplest way to do it without a run round would surely be Strawberry Hill, Clapham Junction, East Croydon, Shalford? Edit: just saw the rest of your post.
