maidstone to london by train

DM118

hi all.. can anyone tell me the journey in the morning from Maidstone East to London (Victoria or Blackfriars) on South Eastern trains, will i be able to get a seat, lets say between 6:30 - 7am.

I cant find trains going near Cannon St london without having to to change, the closes is Blackfriars but only a few services in the morning, not sure if this is to do with the re-development of London Bridge.

thanks

Maidstone East's through service is to Victoria, with a few peak hour services to Blackfriars, City Thameslink etc.


When the London Bridge development is complete those off peak services will run all day but AFAIK still nothing direct to Cannon Street

Thanks for the info
So when London Bridge is completed there will be direct trains to here from M.East during peak? and vice versa.

I think the trains will miss London Bridge and run to Blacfriars (on the way to Welwyn Garden City) via Elephant & Castle instead.

Agreed


There is no rail line from Maidstone East that goes to London Bridge

Cornucopia

There is a loop at Chislehurst that can be used, and has been in the past.
