Open Consultation - Future of South Eastern Rail Services


Consultation Description - Seeking views on the future of the South Eastern rail franchise to ensure the new franchise delivers the best railway for passengers, communities and businesses.

I am pleased Swale Borough Council's response to the South Eastern Rail Franchise consultation has supported my call for a parkway station at Swale station with direct services to London to relieve pressure on roads in and around Sittingbourne Station.

I also called for two off-peak trains per hour from Teynham and Newington, and faster journey times to London.

The deadline for responses has been extended to the 30th of June, so there is still time to have your say. The more responses that are sent that call for these things then the more chance there is of getting what we want when the new franchise is let next year.

You can submit your response before June 30th at: www.gov.uk/government/consultations or simply post it to:

South Eastern Rail Franchise

Department for TransportGreat Minster House

If you would like to cut and paste something, then feel free to use the text below as a starting point:

Dear sir,

I would like to respond to the government's consultation on the South Eastern Rail Franchise.

I believe this is an opportunity to get more people onto rail and reduce the number of cars on our already congested roads.

Specifically, I would like to see two trains per hour off-peak from Newington and Teynham stations to reduce the number of people driving to catch trains at Sittingbourne, and at least one direct train per hour off-peak and more regular peak-time direct services from Swale and Kemsley stations to London, with a commuter car park at Swale; again to ease road congestion along the A2, and in Sittingbourne town centre, and to improve journey times to London.

I note that these proposals now have the support of Swale Borough Council, Kent County Council, and the local Member of Parliament in their responses to the consultation.

Yours sincerely

Councillor Mike Whiting KCC Swale West
