Rail operator Southeastern has introduced 100 extra trains per week as part of new timetable changes.

The expansion was based on customer feedback and travel pattern analysis across Kent, East Sussex and south-east London, the company said.

The changes will aim to improve Metro, Mainline and High Speed services.

Southeastern managing director Steve White said it was committed to providing "better, more reliable and sustainable railway" across the region.

Additional services from Maidstone East to London Charing Cross and Ashford International to London Cannon Street have been added as part of the changes.

Other alterations include the refurbishment of Southeastern's High Speed train fleet and the introduction of extra services to reinstate a half-hourly service on weekdays between St Pancras and Faversham.

Mr White said: "We'll be providing more trains and more seats in London, the Medway towns and north and east Kent."

He added that further improvements to Southeastern's timetable is expected in June next year.
