THE lack of service at Salfords rail station on a Sunday for more than eight months of the year is continuing to anger passengers.
During the summer, trains run seven days a week, but from September to May, there is no Sunday service to allow for engineering work on the line.
The issue was put to Southern Railways and Network Rail representatives by the Reigate, Redhill & District Railway Users' Association (RRDR) at their annual meeting last Thursday.
An RRDR member, who has a season ticket from Salfords, said: "You pay for seven days and you get a six-day service"
Howard Reed, head of train planning for Southern, said: "The engineering arrangement we have from Network Rail allows all four tracks to be open [in the summer].
"During the winter the engineering access allows only two of those tracks to open and we can't get all the trains through those tracks if we go through Salfords."
The member replied: "The service is amazing from Gatwick but I can't get a train from Salfords."
Alex Foulds, commercial director for Southern, said: "Ticket pricing is done according to commuting to work Monday to Friday for 40 weeks a year. That is really what you are buying."
