Journey Times
Journey times now vary between 59 and 72 minutes to London Victoria compared to times of between only 46 and 55 minutes as recently as 1992. It is also believed that services to and from London from Holmwood would have been faster still than those 1990s times post electrification of the line in 1938 and prior to the removal of the passing loops on the line at Cheam in the 1960s.
