The East Surrey Transport Committee, ECRA and CWRA are asking you to object to the reduction in service on the Tattenham Corner line – which has reduced since the pandemic to two trains per hour into London during the week
Please read the attached notice for information, and email GTR at to add you voice to object to the current position.
CWRA Transport Report CR5 Sept 2022
The Council has agreed to repair the road surface in the town centre, commencing on the 25th July and lasting around 4 weeks.
This will mean that at different times Chipstead Valley Road and parts of Brighton Road will be closed to traffic, sometimes totally and sometimes limited to one direction.
ECRA have asked that southbound buses should have access to the town centre at all times. Northbound buses may be diverted via the Bypass using the 404 bus stop at the northern end of the bus lane.
This will affect buses in Coulsdon:
Southbound: all southbound buses should be able to serve the following stops in the town centre Coulsdon Town station and the Library this includes routes 166 and 434 which will be diverted via Brighton Road and Lion Green Road.
Northbound: All stops will be closed. The following will apply Routes 60, 405 and N68 will be diverted via the Bypass after Coulsdon South station and will serve the 404 stop at the end of the bypass.
Route 166 and 434 will be diverted after Portnalls Road stop along Lion Green Road, then along the bypass. They will serve the Lion Green stop and the 404 stop at the northern end of the bypass.
Route 463 will be diverted via the Bypass after Coulsdon South station and will serve the 404 stop on the bypass then turn into the town centre and serve the stop in the Avenue.
Route 404 remains on its existing routing.
Elizabeth Line (Cross Rail) is now open. There is no service on Sundays. Connections from Coulsdon are via Thameslink trains to Farringdon
London Bridge/Bank branch of the Northern Line has now reopened. It was closed from the 15th January 2022 to the 16th May 2022.
Visit the TFL website for more information on the closure.
From 28th June 2021 you can buy a Flexible season ticket for the train.
Flexi Season Ticket
“Commute your way, with the new Flexi Season ticket on Smartcard”
This will allow travel on 8 separate occasions within a 28 day period. However, in our area you will need to have GTR Keycard.
It does not apply to journeys wholly in the London zones as Oyster, bankcard already has a daily and weekly cap.
You can buy from Coulsdon to a station outside London such as Coulsdon South to Reigate or Coulsdon South to Crawley.
However, if you travel 4 days or more an ordinary season will usually be better value as you can travel on other days of the week free.
If you do different days and different times a combination of a new flexible season and off-peak returns may also be better value.
For more information and a season ticket calculator visit the Southern Railway site.
Due to the new Covid restrictions local trains services will be reduced at both Coulsdon South and Coulsdon Town stations from Monday 18th January 2021.
In general a number of early and late services will be cancelled.
At Coulsdon South the Thameslink Horsham to Peterborough service will be reduced to hourly.
The Southern Reigate trains will continue to be every 30 minutes.
At Coulsdon Town the Tattenham Corner service will be reduced to an hourly shuttle service to Purley.
There will be some additional trains in the off peak and evening to and from London Bridge all stations to Coulsdon Town.
Please check on Southern, Thameslink and National Rail web sites and apps before travelling.
The temporary timetable can be downloaded from the Southern web site: www.southernrailway.com/coronavirus-information/revised-timetable
TfL have made proposals to change bus routes in Sutton and Croydon. There are a few changes which we believe can be improved upon.
The changes that affect Coulsdon are :
The change to the 166 will add anything up to 8 minutes on the journey to Croydon and will lose its Purley Town centre and Purley Hospital Stops.
The extension of route 434 to Caterham is positive but should continue to be via the existing Northwood Avenue route.
You can object / give feedback by filling in the questionnaire on the TfL consultation web site, by email to or write to FREEPOST TFL CONSULTATIONS (Ref: Sutton – Croydon bus changes)
