The changes have been made across the Mainline and Highspeed routes into Kent, as well as the Metro routes that run mainly within the Greater London area.
Guy Horstmann, Head of Train Planning for Southeastern, said: “We’re always trying to do more to provide better journeys for our passengers, and we use every available train we have to run the timetable. We’re constantly re-balancing the trains we have with the demand for services people use to ensure that our passengers are getting as comfortable a journey as possible. We hope our passengers on some of the busiest journeys can see a difference.”
