The Cranleigh Railway Line
Reinstating Rail and River Routes from Guildford - The Cranleigh Railway Line This article relates to a planning application WA/2020/0004 dated 02 January 2020 and placed before Waverley Borough Council by the Wey and Arun Canal Trust. It concerns the conflicts of interest that arise between various organisations; together with a wider question about transport infrastructure and connectivity at both local and national levels Our colleagues at Gru- Guildford Railway Users Group recently alerted us that a Waverley Council decision is still pending for the planning application to which both Gru, The Guildford Society and others have objected. Since the application date, various transport reports and government announcements have also been made which we feel have a bearing on this decision. Opened In 1816, The Wey & Arun Junction Canal linked the Wey Navigation near Guildford to the south coast via the Arun Navigation. It was intended to provide a safe, efficient route from the River Thames and London to Portsmouth to carry goods supplying the naval dockyards. However, the arrival of the railways led to its demise and by 1871 it was formally closed and over the passing years the canal fell into a state of disrepair and non-use. WACT is gradually trying to reinstate the canal that used to connect these two navigable rivers between the Thames and the South Coast and have had loyal support and much success in restoring many miles of waterway for use by leisure craft. However, a number of canal sections remain to be joined up and the WACT have various projects towards this aim.

Weybridge to Paris – Day 1 – Friday 29Th April
Weybridge to Paris – Day 1 – Friday 29th April Miles 0 - 10 We start at the the river Thames in Weybridge at the confluence of the river Wey and just 11m above sea level. Departure will be from the car park in Thames Street at the end of the towpath. In time honoured tradition we should dip the front wheels of our bikes into the river before setting off. First we will head along National Cycle Route 4 passing between the Portmore Pillars into Portmore Park Road. We then exit Weybridge, crossing the river Wey, and following a cycle path alongside the A317 we head over Woburn Hill (21m above sea level) to Addlestone Moor where a right turn leads us across a bridge over the river Bourne into Chertsey Meads and then along Mead Lane towards Chertsey. From Free Prae Road we turn left into a meadow where the path follows the river Bourne right into the centre of the town. Cycle shop: Birdie Bikes, Guildford Street, Chertsey. Here we leave route 4 and pick up the start of route 223 heading south towards Woking. Route 223 starts unpromisingly by taking us the wrong way down a one way street using a barely visible contraflow lane. We then pass Chertsey railway station before joining a shared use path alongside the A320 and going under the M25 before passing St Peter's Hospital on the right. Although the A320 is a busy road, most of the route here is away from the road on a separate cycle path. As we reach Ottershaw we'll encounter some hills.
