Transport
Sutton has frequent Commuter rail services to central London stations, including London Victoria (approx 26 minutes travelling time depending on service), London Bridge and several Thameslink stations, including St Pancras. Whilst Sutton is one of five London Boroughs not to have a London Underground station within its boundaries, the Northern Line in neighbouring Merton is easy to reach by local bus. And whilst it also has no stations on the new London Overground network, it is only 10 minutes from West Croydon, which is served by this network. It currently has no connections with the nearby London Tramlink that serves places like Croydon and Wimbledon, although it may become part of this network in the future. The main forms of public transport used in the borough are surface rail from its various regional railway stations and local buses. The Sutton Rail Users forum was formed to campaign for the introduction of higher-frequency, regular interval services from Sutton to central London. Evening frequency of the direct (i.e. via Hackbridge) service to and from Victoria was increased in 2010 from two trains an hour to four trains an hour.

Famous quotes containing the word transport:
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
