Caterham on the Hill Parish Council

Surrey County Council is changing the closure times of Rook Lane Chaldon to 9.30am to 2.30pm while road works continue.

This will mean that some buses on route 411 will be able to use the normal route between Caterham and Redhill. The following buses will now use Rook Lane :
To Reigate
Warlingham 07.06
Coulsdon Road 07.37

To Warlingham
Reigate 15.10 1622 17.12
Redhill bus Station 15.28 16.42 17.30

MetroBus are in discussion with SCC to see if other buses on 411 could still use Rook Lane.

When the schools return all School buses on routes 611, 657 & 658 will run via Rook Lane. These buses also allow other passengers to use them.

However, Whyteleafe Hill still remains closed and 409 and 411 are diverted via Burntwood Lane.

A huge thank you to our fantastic Litter Operative and all the wonderful volunteers who help keep Caterham on the Hill looking its best. 💚

We know that the vast majority of people already take pride in Caterham. If everyone continues to pop their litter in a bin—or take it home if a bin isn't nearby—we can all help keep Caterham on the Hill clean and welcoming for everyone. Thank you! 🚮
