New Guildford Line (provided by N Chadwick)

The New Guildford Line was opened in 1885. It branches off the South Western Main Line just south of Surbiton. On timetables, trains on this route are advertised as going to Guildford via Cobham.
The section of the line from Guildford to Effingham Junction is shared by a branch of the Sutton & Mole Valley Line, continuing to London via Leatherhead and Epsom.
The line was fully electrified in 1925.

River Wey (provided by N Chadwick)

The River Wey is a major tributary of the River Thames and joins it at Weybridge. It comprises two main tributaries, the North Wey and South Wey. The North Wey rises near Alton and flows through Farnham before joining the South Wey near Shalford, just south of Guildford. The South Wey rises on Black Down near Haslemere. Much of the river as been made navigable by the Wey Navigations.
