  1. Shame on Southeastern, shame on Kent County Council and shame on our MP. They have no interest in this part of Kent and concentrate an improving the more affluent parts of the county.

    It's ridiculous I tried to park at Dover station last week and all spaces were full even at 7am. It is a disgrace that the majority of east kent have no access to highspeed services.

  3. I am staggered that this is still unresolved, surely it is in everyones interest to just stop at Deal. The trains are running empty through the station and not stopping it beggers belief!

  4. The HSTs even stop at villages such as Sturry and Minster, with barely 5,000 population between them! What's all that about??? Deal's population is bigger than Dover's. Astonishingly short-sighted planning by the railway company. But easily resolved, if they stop burying their heads in the sand. Or is there a wider agenda going on?
