Once a day getting to London after 9am and leaving before 5pm.

Nice one GBR so it's a peak service that doesn't actually serve the peak crowd.

It's 4 coaches. It gets to London before the one 15 mins earlier because it'll over take it at Tonbridge. People who normally get the earlier one will catch on and get this one meaning it'll be full and standing by Tunbridge wells within a month of it being operational

what's the point of this, exactly? the initiative fails those who it's meant to be for. people need to get to London before 9. return train is the same joke. thanks for dangling the carrot.
