Claire writes to Network Rail after delays and cancellations on the Uckfield Line

Many commuters have been in touch with me to share their frustration at recent 'temporary' changes along the Uckfield Line. 

I'm told Network Rail has introduced speed restrictions and suspended some services so that engineers can monitor the track following the recent spell of hot weather.

Safety first, of course. But, at a minimum, I think it's reasonable for commuters to expect a timeline for how long this disruption will last. 

I have written to Network Rail to request a timeline and for the Oxted route to be prioritised for inspection so people can get back to their normal commutes as soon as possible. Read it below 👇🏽
