Took a trip to the Far East the other day (Broadstairs) and coming from South West London, it’s a shame how awkward it is getting to Kent nowadays:
1. One semi fast train an hour from Victoria
2. Trekking across London to St Pancras
3. Don’t even bother with Charing Cross
It got me thinking, was travelling to Kent before Hs1 really that torturous? Granted I’m a Central division man and the Eastern has always seemed like an alternative universe to me, but didn’t they have fast express services regularly out to Margate/Ramsgate?
