It was used as part of the original Transport and Works Act order for the Thameslink Programme. The actual train service that will operate has not yet been determined and will be the subject of development and consultation over the coming years.

Network Rail, through its Route Utilisation Strategies (RUS), has been examining the future use of the rail network on many of the routes impacted by the Thameslink Programme. The Department for Transport will conduct a formal consultation in 2012/13 on the future Thameslink franchise (assuming the current franchise runs to its conclusion), which will help to inform the final Thameslink route map.
