After a long-fought campaign, I am delighted that Southeastern have today published their new timetable WITH the inclusion of an hourly service Monday to Saturday (with an additional train during the morning rush hour) from Maidstone East to London Charing Cross.
The timetable comes into effect from 11th December, and means those travelling from Otford and Swanley can now access London Bridge, London Waterloo East and London Charing Cross faster and without the need to change. Morning commuters from Sevenoaks will also benefit from additional rush hour services into London.
A massive result, and one that will have a significant impact on local commuters.
A huge thank you to Sevenoaks District Council Leader Cllr Peter Fleming, Kent County Councillor for Otford (and KCC leader) Cllr Roger Gough and Sevenoaks Railway Travellers Association, who have all worked so hard to ensure local commuters are heard. By working together we have achieved a real and meaningful change for residents.
