You mean Ramsgate trains will stop at Teynham, Sole Street etc? They really want you to use the Javelin don't they!
That is it, yes.
The document states:
- There will be an all-day, 2tph service from Victoria to Faversham. This will call at Bromley South and Swanley; with one train per hour stopping at St Mary Cray. In addition, at high peak, both trains will stop at St Mary Cray. All trains call at Longfield and Meopham; only one an hour stops at Farningham Road and Sole Street. They will probably stop at one or the other. Newington and Teynham are also one an hour.
- There is a further requirement for a peak 2tph service from any London terminus (Blackfriars, Cannon Street or Victoria) to Rochester; and this must call at Swanley (but not necessarily Bromley South if the bidder chooses to use Victoria or Blackfriars) and Rochester. Farningham Road - Sole Street intermediate stations may be served by one train per hour only; so you could in theory run one fast to Rochester and one all stops; or skip-stop; or all stop.
- Finally, the Cannon Street peak 2tph service is protected fast from London Bridge to Rochester.
- Of the above peak services (4tph, 2tph minimum from Cannon Street and then 2tph from Blackfriars / Cannon Street / Victoria), three will extend to Faversham. 2tph from this 3 will call at Newington and Teynham.
- The ITT document suggests, effectively, that all services from Victoria to Faversham (the off-peak ones at least) will be to Dover. However, other rules apply.
- The Faversham to Ramsgate section will be operated by 1tph High Speed, and 1tph from Victoria. So, it would suggest 1tph from Victoria will be a portion Ramsgate / Dover, and one will be a through Dover.
- Of the 3tph peak from London (2 Cannon, 1 Blackfriars/Cannon/Vic), 2tph will extend to Ramsgate. One will terminate at Faversham.
Therefore, I suggest the most likely combination will be:
Off Peak
2tph Blackfriars to Maidstone East via Catford
2tph Victoria to Ashford Intl via Maidstone East
1tph Victoria to Ramsgate & Dover Priory
1tph Victoria to Dover Priory
1tph St Pancras to Ramsgate via Faversham (possibly beyond)
1tph St Pancras to Faversham
Peak
2tph Blackfriars to Maidstone East via Catford
2tph Victoria to Ashford Intl via Maidstone East
2tph Victoria to Dover Priory
2tph Cannon Street to Broadstairs / Ramsgate via Chatham
2tph St Pancras to Ramsgate via Faversham
1tph Victoria to Faversham local
1tph Victoria to Rochester local
Otherwise, it gets messy. It is part of a move towards a repeating 30-minute timetable, the current 22 minute principle being abandoned for good.
