Trains to are operated by SouthEastern from London Charing Cross (via Dartford) and London Victoria. Trains from Ramsgate and Dover also serve Faversham. The Javelin high-speed service operates every 30 minutes from London St Pancras. There is a supplement for using this service unless travelling from outside of the London region.

Many trains from London to Ramsgate and Dover leave London as a single train and split in two at Faversham. If boarding at Faversham and travelling East or South it is important to get on the right train as there will be two trains on the one platform after the split.
