A shortage of train crew between Sittingbourne and Sheerness-On-Sea means trains are unable to run between these stations.

Buses will run in place of cancelled services.

Disruption is expected until 14:45.

What's happened?

Following a power supply issue near Farningham Road causing disruption to trains via Sole Street, we need to re-assign some drivers to assist with running services on that route. 

How does this affect my journey?

As a result, Sheerness line services will be suspended from 10:20. 

What do I need to do?

Buses will replace trains between Sittingbourne and Sheerness from 10:20.
