Network Rail - Kent and Sussex

Network Rail owns, repairs and develops the railway infrastructure in England, Scotland and Wales.

That’s 20,000 miles of track, 30,000 bridges, tunnels and viaducts and the thousands of signals, level crossings and stations. 

Kent is one of the busiest railways in the country, carrying over 2,600 trains every weekday. 

The railway in parts of East Sussex, Kent and South East London is vital to the economic prosperity of the region, serving many markets and communities including commuters in and out of London and linking major towns and cities such as Canterbury, Ashford and Dover.

The route also serves channel routes to Europe and has the UK’s first domestic high-speed service, with high volumes of freight traffic, while also transporting large numbers of leisure travellers to the Kent coast and other tourist destinations.
