The Government-sponsored Thameslink Programme will deliver a significant increase in capacity through a combination of new infrastructure, new trains and a new timetable in 2018 providing better connections for passengers across London and the South East. GTR have completed the first stage of their consultation on the 2018 timetable. They are currently reviewing the response and developing their timetable options. They will be undertaking a further consultation with passengers later this year.
