Sevenoaks Rail Travellers' Association (SRTA) aims to represent the interests of commuters using Sevenoaks and stations nearby - Bat and Ball, Dunton Green, Eynsford, Kemsing, Otford, and Shoreham.
In the year to March 2011, over 4.7 million train journeys began or ended at our stations. Despite the recession, numbers travelling are up over 13% since the year ending March 2005. Sevenoaks is the fifth busiest station on Southeastern Train's network (London termini excepted). Over-crowding and parking problems are becoming more acute, while fares and parking charges have been rising well ahead of inflation.
We lobby railways management, regulators and planners. These efforts have secured longer and more frequent trains, as well as better facilities at local stations. But it can be an uphill battle and there is much to do NOW.

SRTA considers the KCC's proposals to reduce the frequency of services to London via Bat & Ball to be deeply flawed. For more information click here
