They are conducting a survey on what people think of the new High Speed train services.
Please click on this link to complete the survey Train Services in Kent Online Survey (http://www.eastkentlsp.org.uk/files/webfm/site/eklsp_highspeedtrain.htm).
See questions 21 and 31, which give you a chance to add your own suggestions.
Next month, Trains4deal will be at the 2nd Kent Rail Summit in Maidstone., speaking up for local rail users to Kent MPs, county councillors, key railway managers and the Department of Transport, as well as other rail user groups.
Make sure that the Survey results confirm local people's anger at the current poor service -
Complete it NOW (and let us know what you say)

Campaigning for High Speed trains to Deal - NOW!
I completed it a few days ago and said that I am angry that the train service is now worse than before and why can't we have the old system back of one fast (now to St Pancras)and one slow (to charing Cross) train per hour? OR give us a properly timed connection with the train at Dover. I also commented that the trains appeared like a museum mock up inside, smelled bad and were uncomfortable.
