Particular schemes that are of interest to Guildord include:

  • Upgrading the Rail Junction at Woking to create a flyover
  • Make the A3 a more resilient Transport Corridor and also use this work to aid placemaking.
  • Encourege use of more sustainable modes of transport, and accessibility to transport modes.
  • Roll-out integrated fares and ticketing
  • Decarbonise railways – this could mean the North Downs Line is electrified or has bi-mode Electric/Battery rolling stock.

The 2019 LPSS

The Guildford Local Plan adopted in 2019 was in part predicated on updrades to the A3 many of which have not been delivered.  The proposals by TfSE show A3 Resilience and Placemaking (The definition of what is intended is unclear) not being actioned until 2035.
