HAVE A SAFE TRIP

[Rick the Dick]

In addition to the above, the new hi-speed link between Stratford International & Ashford International is now operational, with a journey time of about 20mins and a frequency of every half hour. I understand a courtesy bus takes you across the Olympic building site between Stratford mainline station & the new International station. According to Traveline South-east you could leave 'ricay at 6:00pm and be at Ashford International by 7:15 without having to go through London.

 

You've then got a 4 mile hike to Kingsnorth!
