Good train news for a change


Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) has announced timetable changes to be introduced from Sunday 11 December 2022. While changes to individual services will be small, a large proportion of the operator’s trains will have slightly different departure times, particularly on Southern, Gatwick Express and Thameslink (for the Elizabeth Line at Farringdon), so it will be very important that customers check their journeys in advance of travel.

Platform and track improvements at Gatwick Airport station, due for completion early next year, provide an opportunity to shorten journey times and boost punctuality on most routes using the Brighton Main Line. To take full advantage, the times of all trains serving the airport station will be adjusted to departures at the same times each hour throughout the day.

The not finally completed Gatwick improvements include a second station concourse, a new station entrance, wider platforms and eight new escalators, five new lifts and four new stairways.  Peak-hour journey times between Brighton and London Bridge will reduce by up to ten minutes.  

The times of Thameslink’s Luton to Rainham, Luton to Orpington and St Albans to Sutton services will also be adjusted slightly, in readiness for the opening of the new Brent Cross West station expected later in 2023.  Visitors to the Hammerson-owned complex should be aware that it is a one mile walk.  Brent Cross Northern Line Underground is 0.6 mile.
