As you might have seen recently in the paper, there has been a lot of talk about the changes to train times from December 2009 owing to the introduction of 140mph high-speed train services from Ashford/Chatham to London St Pancras. The high speed services don’t affect us directly, but by their introduction, capacity is freed up at places like London Bridge, which indirectly benefits Slade Green. According to Southeastern’s 2009 website, from December 2009 we will have:
