Southeastern Delay Repay — Gravesend to London Bridge commuters
Gravesend sits on the North Kent Line, just 33–42 minutes from London Bridge at peak times. High-frequency services make Gravesend one of the most convenient Southeastern commuter routes — but the shared infrastructure with Dartford and the Medway towns means delays can propagate quickly across the corridor.
