Service Patterns
The current service pattern (as of December 2009) is as follows:
Off-peak & Saturday:
- 2tph between London Cannon Street & Dartford via Greenwich (stopping service)
- 2tph between London Cannon Street & Slade Green via Greenwich (stopping service)
- 2tph between London Cannon Street & Slade Green via Greenwich, continuing to London Cannon Street via Dartford Loop Line
- 2tph between London Charing Cross & Gillingham (semi-fast)
- 2tph between London Charing Cross & Gravesend via Dartford Loop Line

Sunday:

- 2tph between London Charing Cross & Gillingham (semi-fast)
Peak hour frequencies vary, with services from the Bexleyheath & Dartford loop lines also running to & from stations to Gillingham
The December 2009 timetable withdrew peak hour services between Charlton & Blackheath with all services running via Greenwich instead. This has been met with much criticism from passenger groups.
