There are no trains running between Sheerness and Sittingbourne this weekend because of engineering works.

A bus replacement service is in operation but cannot call at Swale Halt because of work on a burst water main at Kingsferry Bridge.

Southeastern said: "Engineering work is taking place between Sittingbourne and Sheerness-on-Sea, closing some lines on Saturday and Sunday.

"As a result, buses will replace trains all weekend between Sittingbourne and Sheerness-on-Sea."

It has also issued its own weather warning for extreme heat for Monday and Tuesday with speed restrictions in place across the network.

A spokesman said: "Services may be disrupted. You should only travel if necessary."
