May 2019 Timetable consultation October 2018
Southeastern May 2019 timetable consultation Overview We are consulting on our proposals for timetables changes which will be implemented in May 2019. While we are specifically seeking feedback on the changes to services listed below, we welcome feedback about the timetabling of all our services. All feedback will be considered and where possible incorporated into our proposals. Feedback which we are unable to take into account for changes being implemented in May 2019 will be considered for the following round of timetable changes in December 2019. A summary of our proposals The first thing to note is that our proposed changes for May 2019 will not be as far-reaching or on the same scale as May 2018. Therefore, many users may notice that services from their local station(s) are unaffected. The main outcome of our proposed changes will be a reduction of journey times for a significant number of our passengers, with an average saving of 2 minutes as a result of the changes below. We are also seeking to resolve gaps in service at a couple of points on our network, ensuring a more regular service for users at these stations. Our proposals affect train services starting at the following stations: Ramsgate Ashford International Dover Priory Canterbury West Orpington Maidstone East Line Broadstairs Victoria Bromley South Rochester Gillingham Barnehurst Dartford London St Pancras London Canon St Slade Green Sevenoaks Gravesend All stations along routes from these key stations to London will be affected by the proposed timetable changes. If you re local station(s) are served by any of the train services listed below then please note that changes in departure time and journey duration will impact your journey unless stated otherwise.
