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.

Famous quotes containing the words journey and/or times:
“A tree that can fill the span of a man’s arms
Grows from a downy tip;
A terrace nine stories high
Rises from hodfuls of earth;
A journey of a thousand miles
Starts from beneath one’s feet.”
—Lao-Tzu (6th century B.C.)
“We women are not made for governing and if we are good women, we must dislike these masculine occupations; but there are times which force one to take interest in them mal gré bon gré, and I do, of course, intensely.”
—Victoria (1819–1901)
