What is Southeastern?

Southeastern is one of the UK's many train operating companies (TOCs), running passenger services across Kent and parts of East Sussex, as well as into London. The closures at Charing Cross and Waterloo East directly impact Southeastern services because these stations are key London termini for their network, necessitating diversions and changes to usual routes.
