Longer to get home
Further to your story on cuts to the train service from Redhill to Tonbridge (Life, February 13), what I would like to know is how the spokesman for the Department for Transport expects rail users in Nutfield to get to Redhill!
The 'bus service' is appalling and there is nowhere to park at Redhill! I do not know where the DfT spokesman is getting the information but there is a definite increase in rail users on this line - I catch the 8.23am from Nutfield and over the past couple of months I have noticed a significant increase in passengers.
At the moment getting in to London is a long journey and getting home taks even longer - presently the earliest I get home from work is 7.30pm. I have recently changed my hours so that one day a week I get home at a decent time, however if the off-peak trains are to be scrapped then my journey home will be a nightmare.
I have a good work-life balance but the proposed changes to the line will be detrimental to this and the worst case scenario would be looking for a local job or moving out of South Nutfield. Alternatively I could become a MP which means I could have a second home in London and claim travel expenses!
