Sutton council to fill funding gap for Belmont railway upgrade

Plans to double the number of train services between Sutton and Belmont stations have hit a £4 million problem, as costs have risen sharply in recent years.
Belmont Station
Belmont station, which is near a major cancer care centre, is currently served by a half-hourly Southern Railway service, and there are plans to double services on the Sutton to Epsom Downs line, with the enhanced timetable expected to be introduced from December 2027.
