Improvements delivered

Great news! We're nearing the end of the first phase of the Thameslink Programme.

That means:

  • 12-carriage trains: On 12 December, First Capital Connect began running its first longer 12-carriage Thameslink route trains between Bedford and Brighton, creating almost 2,000 extra seats at the busiest times of the day
  • A better Blackfriars: we now have new facilities at Blackfriars:
 

- a new station entrance on the South Bank in December

- a second entrance on the north bank

 - and the Tube station has reopened after extensive improvements
