Sheerness-on-Sea is the end of the line: the Sheerness branch runs from Sittingbourne across the Swale. Whether you're arriving home or catching a train out, here's when it pays to book ahead.
Pre-book when…
- You're arriving late at night, so there's a car waiting rather than a long walk or an empty station
- You've got luggage, coming back from holiday or university
- You're catching an early train, so you're not relying on finding a car at 5am
- You're heading somewhere further, such as Leysdown or Warden
