Impressive that SW proactively told customers to go ahead and take a taxi rather than waiting to be asked. A lesson for GWR to learn.

The Down Lines reopened after about an hour, so I guess little would be saved by rerouting trains in that direction. A few Up trains were sent from Woking via Chertsey, and the Up lines reopened after about two hours. Recovery of Up services took some time after that; I think only one track was in use.
