We spoke about the results of our spot surveys of passenger usage of the
new HS service for Deal and Sandwich (see latest updates on http://www.trains4deal.com ). Southeastern
MD, Charles Horton, commented that Trains4deal probably know more about the
figures than he did, and could we pass them on!
Our questions established that consultations on the level of service under
new franchise (starting March 2014) will start in the new year. Southeastern
said there was no prospect of any additional HS services to either Maidstone or
Deal and Sandwich before then.
All Trains4deal supporters who are interested are invited to the next
meeting of the the Kent branch of RAILFUTURE, which campaigns for better rail
services and is a good supporter of our cause. It's this Saturday, 2pm at the
Alma pub in West St. If you're thinking of attending, an RSVP would be
appreciated and will be passed on to the organisers to help them prepare. The
meeting will discuss rail issues generally in Kent, and Deal and Sandwich are
certain to come up!
best wishes,
