  • 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.
