Further to our successful campaign to secure extra trains during the evening rush hour from Charing Cross to Swanley and Otford, I have also received the good news that from 2nd June some trains from Otford and Swanley will also have additional carriages (increasing to 8, from 6).
These are the 0625 and 0825 from Otford (0635 and 0835 from Swanley) to Victoria; the 0937 Otford (0946 Swanley) to Charing Cross and the 1725 Victoria to Otford (arriving Swanley 1751 and Otford 1800)
I am keen this increased number of carriages is expanded to other services also, but this is a start, and I will keep pushing.
I am also pleased to confirm that from June the off-peak trains from Sevenoaks will now be more evenly spread out – something passengers and I have been calling for. Departure time from Sevenoaks for the fast service will be 17,29,47,59 minutes past the hour.
