+V2.0 was released on 22nd November 2025, and features an overhauled version of the 2021 route, as well as a new route and timetable representing the line following the 2025 Farncombe to Petersfield resignalling project.

 Several additional peak services operate, and one CrossCountry empty coaching stock move runs each way during the day.
 == Operational Tips ==
-Keep an eye on departure times from Haslemere - especially heading south trains overtake each other here. Typically the train with the longer dwell should be routed into platform 2 (the middle platform), although sometimes other services don’t allow this, so be careful!
+* All services include a platform for Haslemere in their descriptions. Sticking to these platforms should avoid any delays.
