Due to the ongoing ice and snowy weather Southeastern are running a reduced Mainline service this evening. The highspeed service has been extended to call additionally at Sturry and Minster. Deal has been excluded from this initiative as Southeastern prefer to run empty trains through Deal even though passengers for Deal have been told mainline services are subject to cancellation.

MP Gale says Southeastern can 'kiss goodbye' to Kent franchise

"Southeastern’s ‘fast link’ is a bad joke so far as commuters are concerned as door-to-door journey times now take longer and cost more. Why should people have to pay to subsidise a service that does not serve their needs?"
Last month a report by the Public Accounts Committee revealed problems with overcrowded trains are set to get worse. Particular mention was made to Southeastern, with passengers being forced to pay premium fares to support the high-speed service when it does not stop at every station.
