Rail service boost over Diamond Jubilee weekend

Southeastern has said that it will be putting on a Saturday service for passengers on both Monday, June 4 and Tuesday, June 5, as opposed to a Sunday service.

A company spokesman said: “We’re running extra trains for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations to provide more travel options for our passengers who will be in London for the festivities.

“Where normally we’d be operating a Sunday timetable on a public holiday, we’ll be running a Saturday service on both days. We’re also running some additional trains on the Monday evening after midnight to help people get home following the concert at Buckingham Palace.”
