Train operator Southeastern has announced that a number of their train services now benefit from greater seating capacity for passengers.

With the UK slowly coming out of full national lockdown and more shops and facilities soon to reopen, Southeastern has anticipated an increase in passengers on a number of their services.

To ensure trains have an appropriate amount of seating, extra coaches will be added to a number of peak and off-peak trains starting Monday 29th of April 2021.

Also as part of the better capacity, the 15:39 Tonbridge to London Charing Cross has been reinstated in the timetable. Formed of 8 carriages, the train will call at Sevenoaks, London Bridge and Waterloo East and will connect with the 15:53 Sevenoaks to London Blackfriars via Otford service.

These changes to services are:

12 Coach Trains

London St Pancras

Train Services Director for Southeastern Scott Brightwell said: “Now that the country is beginning to open up again we’re making sure that as demand changes, the number of carriages available for service changes with it. While Government guidance continues to ask people to keep journeys to a minimum and stay local for leisure, retail and hospitality, we’ll continue to monitor levels of demand and adjust train lengths accordingly.”
