Thameslink Programme - London Bridge

London Bridge station

Network Rail is building a completely new futuristic station in phases after the Olympics. There will be changes to the way the track is laid out as well to reduce the bottlenecks that plague the area. By the time work is completed in 2015, 50% more passengers will be able to pass through in the peak (that’s 60,000 people an hour). The station won’t have to close during this work but, from October 2012, First Capital Connect services won’t be able to call there in the peak. There is a possibility that off-peak FCC services may be able to call at London Bridge but we won't know this until closer to the date.
