Your detailed feedback resulted in KCC signing a contract with Southeastern to pay for the first 3 trains to run as now (05.56, 06.24 and 06.56). On balance it was felt important that the core of regular travellers on the early trains should be able to rely on those services continuing while numbers built up.
But your replies did show strong evidence of demand for that new 07.26 service to arrive at St Pancras at 08.49.
Your observations via Trains4deal on how useful this later train would be persuaded Southeastern to consider running this 4th morning train as well, as a commercial service. They say "subject to costs we'll also look to operating an additional 07.21 departure from Sandwich".
Hope that's good news! ....and of course we'll need your continuing support as we work towards getting a full service included in the new franchise
