By 1978 direct services ran only in peak hours, the fastest taking 98mins to reach Victoria, slower than the fastest 81mins, and off-peak half-hourly 94 mins to London St Pancras International 35 years later, which require a change.
After the withdrawal of the Class 411 4-CEPs, services from August 1998 to December 2006 were operated by the Class 508. From the December 2006 timetable change, the two coach Class 466 are used.

These services do not stop at Sittingbourne by using the third side of a triangle junction that links the Sheerness Line to the west bound Chatham Main Line. There are also two return services from London Victoria to Sheerness-on-Sea in the evening peak. These services do not stop at.
There is also one very early morning train arriving at Sheerness-on-Sea that starts from. This also uses the Western Junction to connect to the Sheerness Line from the Chatham Main Line. As a result, this service also does not stop at although it does stop at.
