Winners

Ninety-eight of Southeastern's 165 stations will see improved overall peak-hour services. In many cases, however, choice of London termini will be reduced. Twenty-eight stations will be given improved off-peak services.

● Sevenoaks sees its morning peak service to Charing Cross almost double, and gets an extra two trains an hour off-peak.

● Almost every station between Hastings, Tonbridge and London sees more peak trains, and many have improvements off-peak.

● Stations between Slade Green and Deptford, and also the Bexleyheath line, get better peak services and many will also see off-peak frequency rises. There are also peak-hour improvements at several other inner-suburban stations in London.

● Two main Javelin routes, serving 21 Kent stations at peak hours and 18 at off-peak times. Northernmost route - from Margate to St Pancras via Faversham, the Medway Towns and Gravesend - intended to compensate for cuts to existing service.

Losers

Eighty-one stations served from London - almost half - will suffer some form of cut.

● 22 stations in south London and Kent will have peak services axed without any Javelin trains to compensate.

● A further 11 stations will suffer reduced peak services with only premium-rate Javelin trains to compensate.

● A further 46 stations will lose some or all of their direct trains to particular termini, although overall peak service will remain same or rise.

● 18 stations will see cuts in off-peak services on existing lines. Worst-hit station is Northfleet, near Gravesend. Peak service into Charing Cross cut by 60 per cent and peak service to Cannon Street axed with no Javelin replacement.

● Other stations badly affected are Chatham and Gillingham, whose peak service to Cannon Street is slashed by 30 per cent and whose off-peak service to Victoria is cut by a quarter. Rainham and Sittingbourne lose several peak trains and their off-peak service to Victoria is halved.
