Edward Davey has said South West Trains’ decision to place Kingston and Surbiton stations in zone six rather than zone five means passengers suffer from unreasonably high fares.

Both stations are only 12 miles from London, while 23 stations in zone five are actually further away from the capital.

Richmond Park MP Zac Goldsmith and Mr Davey met with transport minister Teresa Villiers on Tuesday, October 25. She agreed to let Surbiton academic and campaigner Dr Tim Leunig work alongside Department for Transport officials on the case.

Bus lovers flocked to Brooklands for the first major event since the opening of London Bus Museum.

The bus museum, known to many as Cobham bus museum, opened its doors within Brooklands Museum in August, revealing a 25,000sq ft purpose-built building to display its impressive bus collection.

The museum holds the world’s largest private sector collection of London buses and the vehicles tell the story of London’s transport in days gone by. There are more than 30 complete buses, mostly full restored, from the horse-drawn buses of the late 19th century through to the iconic Routemaster.

Thousands of frustrated commuters suffered delays of up to an hour after a trespasser broke onto train tracks at Ashtead. Over 100 trains were disrupted travelling through Surrey and south London, with five services cancelled, four trains terminating early and 97 delayed.
