	Medway Council - Medway Valley line
		It is a general concern throughout the South Eastern network, but a particular concern at Cuxton, that the understanding of the number of people who actually use the services is wrong because of the train company’s failure to ensure that tickets are issued and checked on a regular basis.
		However, on a line such as the Medway Valley, any benefits from this arrangement will be very limited, while other communities are being denied access to the train service.
		The Medway Valley Line should become increasingly important as a feeder route to the Thames Gateway area for access to the new employment opportunities which will be created there.
