BEACHGOERS in Kent have been warned to avoid rail travel at peak times as operators fear overcrowded trains.<\/p>\n

With Britain in the grip of a sweltering heatwave, Southeastern trains has issued the advice as people flock to the seaside resorts in the county like Margate, Broadstairs, Folkestone, Herne Bay and Whitstable.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The rail company is warning customers to avoid peak times to travel in a bid to keep cool.<\/p>\n

It is adding more carriages to busy routes to ensure fresh air flows through all trains.<\/p>\n

Southeastern says its services will be busiest as people head to the beach between 10.30am and 1.30pm, and then return home between 4pm and 7pm, so is advising passengers to avoid these times, if possible.<\/p>\n

A \u201ccrowdbuster\u201d train will also be on standby between Faversham and Ramsgate with extra staff on hand as well.<\/p>\n

The company has also warned travellers to expect slower trains and one-way queues at busy stations.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson said: \u201cWhen the temperature soars, things really heat up for our rail infrastructure \u2013 and it can\u2019t cool down with a cheeky pint or an ice cream.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cMetal rails in direct sunshine can be as much as 20\u00b0C hotter than air temperature, and have been known to get as hot as 50\u00b0C. <\/p>\n

"And because they\u2019re made from steel \u2013 they expand when they heat up, so rails may buckle, and points can expand.<\/p>\n

Temperatures on Thursday hit a\u00a0high of 32.6C.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the mercury is expected to once again break the 30C mark today.<\/p>\n
