🚍⚠️🚉 Buses will replace trains between #Ashford International, #Maidstone East and Borough Green & Wrotham from 23 to 31 May while major engineering work is carried out to improve reliability on the line.
Network Rail will stabilise 150-year-old rock cuttings near Maidstone East, upgrade three miles of drainage, replace nearly 2,300 metres of track between Harrietsham and Charing, install new switches and crossings at Maidstone East, and renew the level crossing at Ryarsh Lane near West Malling. Engineers will also inspect bridges and carry out maintenance across the route.
Accessible replacement buses will operate throughout the closure, including a minibus between West Malling and East Malling. Passengers are advised to check before travelling and allow extra time. Some parking at Maidstone East will be unavailable during the works.
