Who are we?
Thameslink is a 24-hour mainline network rail service that first opened as a through service in 1988. We were the first substantial service to pass through the capital, delivering a core route between Bedford and Brighton via central London.
In 2014, Thameslink became a part of Govia Thameslink Railway. The Thameslink Programme has since delivered a revitalised route, greater-capacity carriages and improved multiple destinations around London.
