There is quite a lot of benefits of the new franchise, including, rush hour trains Sheerness to Vic, Javelins going St P - Fav - Rams - Dover - Ashford - St p, with lots of useful connections. also all 3 Vic - Longfield trains will now carry onto to Faversham and the coast Log in to reply |

I see the Minister proclaiming an increase in 95,000 seats (not clear what time period that is over) on Southeastern. Interesting to if she will say anything on Monday (GTR launch) in respect of the reduction in seat number to be caused by the Class 700 "tube" trains.

Vic Dartford's running until 00.09 is good, now if the Sunday service from Vic can be enhanced so that all routes have an at least half-hourly service, that would be a real improvement. Hourly to Ashford/Ramsgate/Dover is ridiculous in this day and age.
