The line between Farnham and Alton is closed due to embankment issue and forecast of rain. This is until 19 April at the earliest.
South West Trains say last bus from Farnham is at 22.00 but the last train that usually runs from Woking is at 0.40.
National Rail Enquiries App says it's until end of service.
Would SWT be allowed to finish services earlier or do they have to provide rail replacement transport?
A it involves week days, they did well to find buses for the replacement service.

Cancellations to services between Alton and Farnham
Due to emergency engineering works between Alton and Farnham the line is blocked.
Impact:
Train services running to and from these stations may be cancelled or revised. Disruption is expected until 23:59 19/04.
Customer Advice:
There will be a temporary closure of the line between Farnham in Surrey and Alton in Hampshire from Wednesday evening due to an ongoing embankment issue. An emergency speed restriction has been in place on this section of track since 1 April and this was further reduced from 20mph to 5mph following a track inspection. There is a risk of forecast rain exacerbating the problem so the decision has been taken to close the line to identify what repair work needs to be carried out and to allow the work to take place. As soon as we have identified what repair work needs to be done, we will be able to confirm how long the line will need to be closed for.

The line between Alton and Farnham has now closed as of 21:00 on Wednesday 13 April to allow work to be carried out to repair the embankment. Replacement bus services will run between Farnham and Alton in both directions providing a service between Farnham, Bentley and Alton. Due to their size they will not be able to serve Bentley station, but will instead stop in the village to pick-up and drop off passengers. Buses towards Alton will stop outside the Memorial Hall, while those going towards Farnham will stop outside the Star Inn.
