yeh Bear Grylls is right, go from victoria, the train will either terminate at Faversham or Ramsgate, they will both take you to Chatham

I heared there was a train from london bridge but am not sure :s because i will be living in london bridge so if i take that route it will be very long..
How do i pay for these? Is it like an oyster card where i can top it up monthly? Aghhh

you could have found this all out really fast yourself - but as im being nice

its gonna be cheaper overall to but a yearly ticket 2,740
but in case you done want to
6 months = 1578.30
3 months = 789.20
1 month = 263.10
1 week = 68.50

as for the route from london bridge

there are straight trains every hour or so which take about 70 mins
or you can change

have you tried looking for train routes on the train route finder on the national rail website

Just hope your commute doesn't start before 9.30 and you're only in a couple of days a week!
