A timetable of trains still able to run during next week's strikes has been published today (Thursday), revealing that Ashford, Dover and the Medway towns will still have services - but no further out.

Rail passengers in Kent are bracing themselves for a week of trouble as members of the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers and the Transport Salaried Staffs' Association plan to begin a four-day walk out on Tuesday.

The dispute is over Network Rail plans to cut hundreds of jobs and to increase the amount of weekend work.

Southeastern's revised timetable will provide a limited service to Charing Cross, Victoria, London Bridge and St Pancras International only. Detailed posters will also be at all stations from Saturday.

The revised timetable will begin at 7am with final trains arriving at destinations by 7pm.

A company spokesman denied it was directing resources towards customers in the west of the county.

Jon Hay-Campbell said: "Network Rail are trying to offer as much cover as possible but they have told us what they can and can't provide.

"It isn't up to us and we certainly wouldn't look to favour one area over another.

"If we have only a limited number of signal boxes available and choose to use those in east Kent, the trains wouldn't be able to get to London.

"They would stop at Ashford or Gillingham instead and would be of no use for most people."
