Roses are red, violets are blue, Thameslink is grey and pink and will Track Down Love with you!

Whether you’re after a romantic weekend in scenic St Albans, a solo date night in the capital, or a seaside escape to Brighton and the South Downs, Thameslink is here to spread the love with heartfelt travel tips and romantic ideas across our destinations. Let us help you make this cuffing season memorable with new ways to connect, explore, and find romance on our trains.

To celebrate, we’ve partnered with celebrity dating expert Anna Williamson and matchmaking experts It’s A Date to bring you 'Track Down Love' – an exciting season of romance on Thameslink. We kicked it all off with a night of speed dating and unforgettable moments at Drake & Morgan’s flagship bar and restaurant, just across from our St Pancras International station. Our Thameslink traincrew cupids were on hand to guide singles through their journey to finding someone special.

Watch the video below to see if our seven singletons managed to Track Down Love:

    Forget wedding rings, the Two Together Railcard is the ultimate sign of commitment!

    Train driver Rina doesn’t mince her words – when you choo choo choose that special someone, you need to be on track for a journey of a lifetime. And if that journey gets you 30% off off-peak travel when you’re crossing the country making memories together, then you know you’ve got a great deal.

    Don’t get friendzoned, get GroupSave!

    Testing and commissioning driver Nathaniel’s usual beat is to navigate the complicated world of signalling, but this Railway Romeo wants to help you navigate the complicated world of dating too. His advice – grab up to 8 mates, get a GroupSave ticket and Thameslink it to the next It’s A Date event. You’ll get a third off when you travel together off-peak and are guaranteed to meet someone special, knowing they’ve already passed the friends test!
