Amended timetable in place on SoutheasternWe’re currently running a reduced timetable so that vital train services can keep running throughout a prolonged coronavirus outbreak.
Social distancing means there is space for as few as 1 in 10 of the usual number of passengers on our trains. If you can work from home please continue to do so, to help us keep the railway clear for those who need it most.
