• The post you are reporting:
   
  The introduction of the HST will see the first complete rewrite of the timetable in 50 odd years so it is likely that all services will be reviewed or revised and most likely re-timed.
  
  Certainly the classic service (i.e. to Cannon Street and Charing Cross via Tonbridge) will remain but will have lower frequency during the peak service periods and is likely to have less convenient departure/arrival times than now. This is to encourage commuters onto the HST.
  
  As far as I understand the service frequency for the HST is 1 per hour off peak and 3 every 2 hours during the peak period. The likely consequence is that we will lose 1 per hour service during off peak and 2 during the peak period on the classic service. There is also an unsubstantiated rumour that Cannon Street Services will be routed via Faversham only adding a minimum of 15 minutes to the overall journey time.
