Local train commuters have called on the government to extend London’s transport zone 6 to Redhill and Reigate to compensate for a “worsening service”.
They said nine direct trains to London have been recently cancelled.
A meeting was held with the rail minister Claire Perry along with local MP Crispin Blunt where a petition was handed over.
Sara Pont, from Reigate, Redhill and District Rail Users Association, said that when they met with the rail minister she said she would take the petition away and look at it with senior figures in the Department for Transport.
The DfT spokesman said its Thameslink scheme had caused some disruption to trains in Redhill and added that passengers affected by delays to timetabled services should claim the compensation they are rightly entitled to.
