Train bosses have revealed a range of changes to timetables for services across Kent.

As of Sunday, May 20, changes to train times will affect the entire Southeastern network.

This includes mainline services between Kent and London, as well as shorter-distance Metro routes and high speed trains from the Kent coast.

The new timetables will mean more journeys will be available at more stations, according to transport chiefs.

They are also asking passengers to check their service before they travel.

Southeastern train services director Ellie Burrows said: "We'll be doubling the capacity on some morning peak high speed services, and we've worked closely with Govia Thameslink Railway to integrate their new Thameslink services into the timetable.

"Thameslink trains will replace our services on some routes, and we'll replace Thameslink services on others.

"I would encourage our passengers not to get caught out, and check how their journey will change."

Some of the big changes include new Thameslink connections every few minutes at London Bridge, linking Blackfriars, City Thameslink, Farringdon and St Pancras.

There are also new direct Thameslink services and new journeys at 15 stations on the north Kent line, including through south east London.

As well as that, additional direct Thameslink services are being brought in to replace some Southeastern services at three stations in the Orpington area.

Also, another five stations will see Thameslink services withdrawn and replaced by Southeastern services between Beckenham Junction and West Dulwich.
