More train services from next week – SouthEastern
We’ve been listening to stakeholder and customer feedback and using journey data to assess how customers are travelling following the introduction of our December 2022 timetable.
The following changes will be implemented from Sunday 21st May onwards:
- 29 additional trains every weekday, Monday to Friday
- 34 additional trains on Saturdays compared to December 2022
- On every weekday 25 of our trains will now have more carriages than before, to provide extra capacity on some of our busiest services.
In addition to this, we want your journeys with us to be on new, newer or refurbished trains. So, on weekends, we’re providing more services on our newest Class 707 ‘City Beam’ trains than before.
Changes require no additional taxpayer funding
Southeastern is a public-sector, not for profit, organisation. The changes we introduce this May will generate more revenue than cost, which enables us to provide additional services on these routes with no need for additional taxpayer funding.
We will continue to listen and adapt services as travel habits change.
Check before you travel
