London Charing Cross is Southeastern's classic mainline terminus in the heart of the West End, running the South Eastern Main Line out through Tonbridge and Sevenoaks. It's the departure point for train tickets Hastings, the direct route covered by train tickets Canterbury to London, and the wider spread of train tickets Kent that fan out across the county from here.

This is a separate route from the newer high-speed Javelin services that run via St Pancras and HS1 - Charing Cross trains take the slower, scenic mainline instead. Because these are longer commuter and leisure journeys with real Advance savings on offer, unused tickets from changed plans show up regularly, and every one is checked against its original booking before we list it.

Ways to save on top of a resale ticket

Book Advance fares early

Advance tickets are released up to 12 weeks ahead and are usually the cheapest new-ticket option — the earlier you book, the more choice you get.

Travel Off-Peak

Avoiding the morning and evening rush can cut the price of a walk-up fare significantly, even on the same route and operator.

Use a Railcard

A Railcard knocks up to 1/3 off most fares and pays for itself after a handful of journeys if you travel regularly.

Try split ticketing

Buying two or more tickets that cover different legs of the same journey is sometimes cheaper than one through-ticket for the full route.

Frequently asked questions

Are tickets on SaveMyFare valid for travel into Charing Cross?
Yes. Every ticket is verified before listing - we check the reference, date and route against the original booking. Once you purchase, the ticket transfers to you as the travelling passenger.
Which operator runs into London Charing Cross?
Southeastern operates all services from Charing Cross, running the South Eastern Main Line through Lewisham, Sevenoaks and Tonbridge to Hastings, and the separate Chatham Main Line towards Kent's coastal towns.
Can I use a railcard on a resold Charing Cross ticket?
Any railcard discount already applied when the ticket was purchased carries over with it. You don't need to hold that railcard yourself to travel, but always check the ticket's terms before buying if you plan a separate return.
How does the ticket transfer work after I buy?
Once payment is confirmed, we send you the ticket details and any required reference or barcode. For e-tickets and Advance singles this is usually instant; for tickets that require reissuing, our team handles it directly with the operator.
Are there resale tickets for Hastings and Canterbury?
Yes. The Hastings line via Tonbridge and the Canterbury West route are both regularly listed on SaveMyFare, alongside shorter commuter tickets to Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and other Kent stations served from Charing Cross.
Is this the same as Southeastern's high-speed service?
No. Charing Cross trains run on the classic mainline via Tonbridge and Sevenoaks, which is slower but scenic. Southeastern's high-speed Javelin services to Kent use HS1 and depart from St Pancras International instead, with their own separate seller page on this site.
