actually its not that sarcy, the ticket office people will know the right way to do it, whereas a load of blokes off the internet will likely give you a load of bollocks answers that will WASTE your time

www.nationalrail.co.co.uk has ALL the details you want

Depends on what time of day you go, and which way

You can go via Faversham to either Victoria, Cannon St or St Pancras or via Ashford to St Pancras or Charing Cross

Trains are a rip-off..!

I pay £3350 per year for a shit, unreliable train to london and back, plus the £800 a year to park at the crime ridden station

I wouldnt mind so much but due to unhealthy (fat) people sometimes I get a bit squashed against the window...

Cattle travel in better conditions

Crap service from Whitstable to Cannon St now since the Highspeed service started

You would need to catch the 0540 from Whitstable then change at Faversham for the 0608 to Cannon St which arrives at 0727

PS, i get paid for doing it everyday and always have a seat
