Despite desperate attempts from paramedics the man died at the scene, while the attacker is thought to have got off the train fled into the surrounding Clandon area - just one stop into the Surrey to London journey (pictured is Horsley Station, where the train pulled in)

The suspect, who police think was not known to the victim, is described as a black man in his twenties to thirties, is approximately 6ft tall, with a slim build and beard, dressed all in black with white trainers.
Earlier shocked witnesses said the man was knifed following a scuffle with another passenger who then fled into the surrounding Clandon area - just one stop into the Surrey to London journey.
One woman passenger, who asked not to be named, said: 'There was a lot of blood everywhere in the carriage. I don't think the poor chap stood a chance.
'The police who were here first started to give him CPR but it was apparently too late to save him and he died while the train was in the station.'
Other passengers said how the ticket inspector and driver leaped into action to desperately try and save the man before emergency services arrived.
British Transport Police Superintendent Paul Langley said in a statement: 'Tragically as a result of this stabbing, a man believed to be 51-years-old, was pronounced dead on board the train.
'Early indications suggest he received multiple stab wounds to his body.
'What we know at the moment is that the victim boarded the train at around 1.00pm at London Road station in Guildford, along with his 14-year-old son.

'Traumatically, the victims son would have been nearby when his father was fatally wounded. This would have been an horrific and hugely traumatic event to have witnessed and we are providing him with as much support as possible.'
Forensic teams have been searching a field in Clandon after a local resident found a bloodied hat on the ground and said she confronted a ' sweaty nervous man' .
Officers with tracker dogs were also seen in the field.
Three uniformed officers stood guard by a wooden gate adjacent to the property less than a quarter of a mile from Clandon station.

Mother Rowena Dodwell posted a message on a local neighbourhood watch site to describe her confrontation with possibly the murder suspect.
She wrote:' Please be vigilant as I just came across a mid 20's, slim build, black beard, bald suspicious man wearing a black track suit walking around our neighbouring field, very sweaty and nervous.
'He walk to the bottom then stood in the woodland, walk back up. I asked him what he was doing and he said he had an accident?
'Our road is private and so is the field. He walked off on the phone and didn't want to chat. There was no reason for him to be there!
'Called police as he's dropped a blooded hat in field.'
Police are now in the area, attempting to identify and trace the man responsible for this assault.
Supt Langley added: 'We also know that the suspect left the train service at Clandon station, and headed in the direction of Dedswell Drive.
'There have been a number of sightings in this areas from members of the public and our enquiries are focussing in on these areas.
'We have a number of officers in the area working hard to trace the man responsible for this violent and deadly attack.
'We are working close with Surrey Police and the National Police Air Service who are helping us to locate him.'

Matt Phelps, 35, who works at a business in West Clandon, said police officers provided a description of the man they were hunting - a man with a beard and short hair, who was 'not dressed for the weather' in a T-shirt and tracksuit bottoms, and strikingly bright white trainers.
He said: 'There were also three helicopters circling overhead when we locked up and went home.
'It was a bit alarming when someone I worked with put two and two together and we realised who the police were looking for.
'You sometimes see the police helicopter going over or cars going past with sirens on but to think there was someone like that potentially hiding around the corner somewhere certainly made us want to pack up and go home quicker than usual.'
Another woman who did not want to be named told The Telegraph: 'A man was seen in a field. He had no hair on his head but had a black beard. Someone said he had been seen in a field and accosted a woman walking her dog.
'He apparently said to her 'I am in a lot of trouble', before he dropped his hat and ran away. The hat was later recovered by the police who are examining it for forensic clues.'
Officers sealed off the Clandon area as the manhunt for the killer continued this evening.
Dozens of commuters cars were stranded in the car park at the Surrey station with owners told they would have to remain parked until forensic teams had completed their investigation.
Earlier a police helicopter had hovered over the surrounding countryside as it scoured farmland and nearby National Trust property of Clandon Park.

The killer would have had a choice of walking either towards the village of Send or towards East Clandon on leaving the station.
Drinkers at the Onslow Arms, about a quarter of a mile from the Clandon station, said they heard the helicopter hovering overhead during the afternoon.
'There were lot of police cars racing along the road and word soon went round someone had been stabbed, said one of the pub regulars.
'There's hardly any serious crime round here so everyone took notice'

Another witness praised the efforts of the railway staff in the frenzied aftermath of the attack.
Natalie Jones tweeted: 'I was on this train. How those guards and especially the train driver went into action was nothing short of incredible.'
Oliver Thompson, a 16-year-old student living in Clandon, said he was stopped by police in the area at roughly 2.30pm and asked if he had seen a 'man running from the station'.
A little later he saw police helicopters circling the area before being joined by 'a police van with high-powered lights' as conditions darkened.
'It comes as a big surprise as Clandon is a quiet area that you wouldn't associate with crime like this,' he said.
'It is definitely unnerving to think there is a murderer maybe somewhere in the village.'
A Home Office pathologist was expected to carry out a post mortem examination on the man's body to establish the exact cause of his death and the Surrey coroner was notified of the death.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
