Written question asked by Will Forster (Liberal Democrat) on Wednesday, 14 January 2026, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 19 January 2026. It was answered by Keir Mather (Labour) on Monday, 26 January 2026 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


Public Transport: Woking

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment her Department has made of the adequacy of transport connections at Worplesdon station in Woking constituency.

Answer

No assessment has been undertaken, as Worplesdon is a lightly used local station. Passengers tend to use Guildford or Woking stations for wider travel.

Under public ownership, Southwestern Railway will be undertaking a complete redesign of its timetable, including services in the Woking area. In the assessment of options, wider economic impacts will be a consideration, alongside other factors such as reducing the net subsidy requirement of the railway, meeting passenger demand and improving operational performance.
