An extra 200 services will be introduced each weekday on Thameslink and Great Northern from Monday 10 December.

There will be an additional 32 peak and 170 off-peak services operating. Most current services already in the timetable remain unchanged.

Additional peak services will operate across the network from Cambridge, Peterborough, Brighton, St Albans, Horsham, Rainham, Luton, Orpington, East Grinstead, Bedford and on the Wimbledon loop.

Elsewhere on the GTR network, most Southern and Gatwick Express services will remain unchanged and there will be no change to weekend services.

Steve White, Chief Operating Officer of GTR, said: “Many passengers will benefit from more frequent services thanks to 200 extra weekday services on Thameslink and Great Northern.

“I would like to thank our customers for their patience as these improvements have been phased in and thank our staff for their hard work making this happen.”

Passengers can find out more about the new services in advance as the information is on online journey planners and on www.thameslinkrailway.com and www.greatnorthernrail.com.
