You can just imagine how this station can benefit the local economy, allowing direct London Victoria and St Pancras International services, as well as southbound Dover Priory services, linking to some of the largest hubs in the country including Ebbsfleet International, for services to mainland Europe, Medway and central London via Thameslink. Partly because of this station and the introduction of new Southeastern Highspeed services, the value of the Swale Borough visitor economy grew by 3.9% in 2017 and is now worth £237m. The entirety of Kent’s visitor economy stood at a hefty £3.8bn at the same time.

Rail is not the only transport link in Faversham. Bus companies including Arriva Southern Counties, which runs service 333 to Sittingbourne and Stagecoach in East Kent operate routes 3, 3X, 3A, 3B to Canterbury, and route 666 to Ashford. However, Swale Borough Council have expressed concern over the lack of bus and cycle facilities in the town and greater borough when compared to road and rail, and there is a particular lack of public transport to nearby rural areas.
