The Chatham Main Line is a busy railway stretching from Central London and the West End in the North through the London commuter towns of Medway, Sittingbourne, Faversham, Whitstable, Herne Bay, Ramsgate, Canterbury and many more. It is a vital link to the south coast, providing faster and more direct services than the South Eastern Main Line and serving more communities than HS1 could ever dream of. Despite the importance, much of the line, even within London, is only double tracked, leaving only short sections of track for trains to overtake.
Includes:
- Chatham Main Line from Rochester Bridge Junction to Faversham Junction
- North Kent Line from Higham Tunnel to Strood for HS1 and Thameslink services
- Sheerness Line from Sittingbourne / Newington to Sheerness-on-Sea
- Medway Valley Line from Strood to Paddock Wood, with services running onwards to Tonbridge
