New video series showcases adventures in Surrey’s countryside by train
A new series of short films is shining a spotlight on how easy it is to explore Surrey’s countryside using public transport, thanks to funding from Great Western Railway.
Filmed over several months at a range of scenic locations, the videos highlight the accessibility and beauty of the county’s green spaces.
The first video follows a group of friends as they travel by train to Dorking and then hop on the Surrey Connect on-demand bus to reach Norbury Park.
