Kent RUS 2010

http://www.networkrail.co.uk/browse%…kent%20rus.pdf

Its not an area of particular interest to me but for those interested the summary of strategy to 2020 is as follows:

Quote:

Implement CP4 committed schemes as planned, including Thameslink and train lengthening.

Commence detailed development of the post-Thameslink timetable, with peak services generally modified to run at 15 or 30-minute intervals, rather than today’s 20-minute pattern.

Further train lengthening in CP5 with approximately 100 extra vehicles to ensure all high peak trains and the busiest shoulder peak trains run with maximum capacity.

Procure additional rolling stock for use on High Speed line to enable:
„„ lengthening of 6-car Class 395 peak trains to 12-car
„„ Rochester – St Pancras International peak only service to start from Faversham
„„ Ebbsfleet – St Pancras International peak only service to start from Ashford (or Strood/Maidstone West if necessary due to infrastructure constraints).

Improve access to stations and integration with other transport modes.

Prioritise incremental journey time improvements
