A local campaign group Bexhill Rail Action Group (BRAG) was formed in 2005 in response to proposals to end through services to London Victoria. The campaign was successful and BRAG continues to campaign for local rail improvements.
Campaigners are seeking to upgrade and electrify the Marshlink Line to extend Southeastern high speed train services (which operate from London St Pancras via High Speed 1 to Ashford International) onwards via Rye to Hastings,Bexhill and Eastbourne,and which,if realised could slash journey times between Bexhill and the capital to around 1 hour and 15 minutes,instead of the average 1 hour 52 minutes currently.[ citation needed ]
