The fast service runs from London Victoria via Chatham and Faversham then along the North Kent coast through Whitstable, Herne Bay and Margate. Services are twice an hour monday to saturday, hourly on sunday and journeys take about 1 hour 45 minutes to Broadstairs.

Trains also run from London Charing Cross via Dartford and via Ashford(Kent), although both these services have considerably longer journey times.

If you come from the M25 south of London take the M26 then the M20 to J7 and turn left (north) onto the A249, follow the signs for the M2.

When you reach the end of the M2 continue on to the Thanet Way, which is now a dual carriageway, towards Margate & Ramsgate then when you approach the roundabout at St Nicholas at Wade you will see signs for Broadstairs.
