                Post Office at Gillingham Station




                South  Eastern  Trains  plans  to  close  the  Post  Office  at  Gillingham  Station  in
               April.

               I  appreciate  that  this  will  come  as  a  disappointment  to  those  of  you  who
               relied  upon  it.  However,  we've  taken  this  difficult  decision  in  light  of ·the
               need  to  focus  all  our  efforts  upon  our  core  business,  namely  operating  a
               railway service .for the duration of the  South  Eastern franchise             ·


               The  closure  of the  Post  Office  will  increase  the  number  of staff  on  hand  to
               serve  passengers  and  provide  them  with  informatio,n  ·and  this  should  also
               ensure a cleaner,  more wekoming station  environment.·

               Once  closed,  the  nearest  Po_st  Office . will  be  47  Green  Street,
               approximately 5  minutes walk from the station.


               I  do  hope  you  will  understand  why  we've  taken  this  decision,  but I'd  like  to
               take this. opportunity to apologise for the obvious inconvenience  it will  cause.
