About Thameslink Programme

This scheme will tackle overcrowding on some of the UK’s busiest routes by increasing passenger capacity north-south to and through London. It will deliver clear and tangible benefits for passengers, the environment and the UK economy. The programme will deliver:-

50 per cent longer trains across the current Thameslink route
New direct services, to new destinations on the Thameslink route (e.g. Cambridge to Gatwick).
A reduction in overcrowding on the Underground, with three times as many trains travelling between St Pancras International and Blackfriars every hour (an increase from 8 to 24).
New stations and an end to bottlenecks at Blackfriars and London Bridge
New trains across the Thameslink route
A new connection to St Pancras International station (from December 2007)
Platform extensions to improve 50 stations outside of central London.
