Southeastern introduces autumn timetable with temporary changes

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 10 Oct, 09:13 · Archive

Southeastern is implementing temporary timetable changes from October 11 to December 12, with some services retimed and stopping patterns altered.

Southeastern is introducing temporary timetable changes from Sunday, October 11 until Saturday, December 12 to prepare for seasonal weather challenges including fallen leaves and wet weather, which create slippery layers on tracks affecting train braking and acceleration.

Across the network, many early morning trains will leave between one and five minutes earlier than usual, while some journeys may arrive a few minutes later. Passengers are urged to check their routes before travelling. Services between Dover Priory and Victoria via Faversham will be retimed by up to eight minutes, with trains heading towards London departing up to eight minutes earlier and those heading towards Dover arriving up to eight minutes later.

Some weekday off-peak and evening services will no longer stop at certain stations. The Victoria to Orpington route will skip West Dulwich, Sydenham Hill, Penge East and Kent House on some trains, though all four stations will continue to be served by other services. On the Dartford to Cannon Street route via Charlton and Blackheath, some weekday morning and evening services will no longer stop at St Johns, and passengers may need to use earlier or later trains. Some metro routes will also see minor changes of up to four minutes.
