Answer: Victoria

Opened in the 1860s, Victoria has trains which run to Surrey, Kent and Sussex. Victoria is where the first through train to Paris started its journey; the Night Ferry was carried on a boat from Dover to Dunkerque, giving its passengers an uninterrupted night's sleep.

Rochester also has direct trains to Charing Cross and to St Pancras (on the High Speed 1 service).
