The article as originally written falls into the trap set for many of these lines - namely that is a railway line in its own right. It is not a railway line - as can be seen from the map I have now put as the External link - but simply the name given by the Southern to describe the services on the route, which services run from London to Horsham, with a branch to Epsom Downs. There is a distinct connection with the Arun Valley Line, since the original openings were from London through Epsom, Dorking, and Horsham to Shoreham-by-Sea - part of which is the Arun Valley Line. This is the problem with not looking at the history of the line, I'm afraid.
Incidentally, the timetable listing calls it the S&MV LINE, not Lines, which is why I have moved it.
I have also included the section from London Bridge (on which there was a query), which can be seen from the Southern map, is very much part of the Line. Peter Shearan 08:55, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
