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.

“In love’s deep womb our fears are held;
there God’s rich tears are sown
and bring to birth, in hope new-born,
the strength to journey on.”

“Surely I remember the hooks
of her fingers curled on mine, though even now
will not admit the times I did avoid this street,
where she lived on and on like a bleached fig
and forgot us anyhow....”
