Can I put a vote in for Slade Green, pretty sure some peak services terminate there (or at least used to). Utterly grim in a sea of NW Kent nothingness.

Biggest station on the network without a pub? Exeter St David’s must be up there

When Charlton were in the Premier League I'm almost positive that South Eastern laid on extra London bound services after the Saturday 3pm games

Someone mentioned Tonbridge earlier as 5 tracks with 3 platforms but I think it should be 6 and 4?

Am I right in thinking that Lewisham station sits above the River Ravensbourne?

Noticed at East Farleigh station earlier…Platform 1 for services to Paddock Wood, Tonbridge and Gatwick Airport. Obviously there are no services to Gatwick but it’s surely stretching it when the only way to get to Gatwick is with TWO changes of train (Tonbridge & Redhill). Just wondered if...

I've just moved to Kent and noticed this on the ticket but wasn't sure why? Is there another Marden that it could be confused with?

Are the TL services to Maidstone still due to start in December?

And the fact that not all bridges go to Platform 7 and some escaltors/entrances to the other platforms are 1 way only, a real pain in the backside when trying to naviagate a 2 minute change

Pretty bad damage at Staplehurst station this morning and large BTP and police forensic presence after an overnight break-in at the ticket office: https://www.kentonline.co.uk/weald/news/break-in-at-train-station-202726/

For added good measure....this Sunday is the Brighton marathon. 12,000 runners and over 120,000 spectators normally attend. I'd imagine more than a couple normally travel down from London for this.
