The bugs were discovered at around 6.30am on a train operating from Slade Green Depot in Bexley.
An internal email on Thursday morning read: “A driver in Hastings train crew room reported three bed bugs on a poster near the door.”
Additionally, an incident log described how an “infestation” had been found by an off-duty member of Kent Integrated Control Centre staff, prompting the service to be cancelled, and subsequently others, after it arrived at Dartford.
However, despite the train remaining out of use on the Friday, Southeastern said specialists had checked the train and found no traces of bedbugs in passenger areas.
