Southeastern Railway has reduced capacity on tonight’s 18:25 service from London Victoria to Ashford International due to a train fault.
Passengers travelling on the 18:25 Victoria to Ashford International service this evening should be aware that the train will operate with only 4 coaches instead of the standard 8-coach formation. This reduction in capacity is due to a reported train fault affecting Southeastern Railway’s operations.
The reduced capacity means fewer seats will be available on this service, which could result in crowded conditions during what is typically a busy evening commute. Passengers are advised to consider alternative options if possible.
Southeastern Railway recommends that passengers unable to travel on the reduced-capacity 18:25 service should use the next full-capacity service, which is the 18:55 Victoria to Ashford International train. This later service will operate with the full complement of 8 coaches, offering significantly more seating availability for commuters heading to Ashford and stations along the route.
For the most up-to-date information on journey times and any additional disruptions, passengers should check their departure before travelling or contact Southeastern Railway directly.
