Sheep on the railway at Queenborough means trains are currently unable to run between Sittingbourne and Sheerness-on-Sea.

Disruption is expected until 07:30.

What's happened?

We have been advised of a flock of approximately 30 sheep on the line at Queenborough. As a result, the Sheerness line is suspended until the sheep can be removed.

How does this affect my journey?

Trains are unable to run on the Sheerness line. We expect this to last until at least 07:30. We are currently unable to source replacement buses.

What do I need to do?

Due to problems sourcing buses this morning, please arrange your own transport. Please ensure you keep all receipts and submit them along with a valid ticket to our customer services via this link: https://www.southeasternrailway.co.uk/help-and-contact/get-in-touch/contact-us.
