Along The Railway Line | Maidstone East Railway Station

1:00 Just so that visitors to Maidstone East are not confused, the River Medway is to the west of the station. Likewise at 1:20 - the tunnels are at the east end.

Regarding the current timetables: There was previously two trains an hour to/from Victoria - one would terminate at Ashford, and one would continue to Canterbury West. One of those has now been cut and instead there is now an hourly service that starts at Maidstone and runs to Charing Cross via Swanley. It offers a 15 minute saving to London Bridge versus the 70 minute trip to Victoria. But it also cuts the opportunity for local connections between Maidstone and Bromley if your destination isn't London.

Thanks for this useful information, it is a shame there isn't at least 2 per hour, plus additional connections.
