Sheerness-on-Sea railway station is on the Sheerness Line in north Kent, England, and serves the town of Sheerness. It is 51 miles 19 chains (82.5 km) down the line from London Victoria.
For a period up to 1973 hourly direct services to London Victoria left from platform 2. By 1978 direct services ran only in peak hours, the fastest taking 98 mins to reach Victoria,[1] slower than the fastest ones taking 81 mins, and off-peak half-hourly 94 mins to London St Pancras International 35 years later, which require a change.[2]
After the withdrawal of the Class 411 4-CEPs, services from August 1998 to December 2006 were operated by the Class 508. From the December 2006 timetable change, the two coach Class 466 were used. In 2019, in order to comply with accessibility requirements, the trains were replaced with Class 375 Electrostars, most commonly the 3-car variants.
