Passengers on Thameslink and Great Northern will benefit from 200 extra services this December, Govia Thameslink Railway has announced.

There will be an additional 32 peak and 170 off-peak services operating from Monday, December 10. Most current services remain unchanged.

Govia Thameslink Railway’s chief operating officer Steve White said: “Many passengers will benefit from more frequent services thanks to 200 extra weekday services on Thameslink and Great Northern.

“I would like to thank our customers for their patience as these improvements have been phased in and thank our staff for their hard work making this happen.”

Passengers can find out more about the new services in advance as the information is on online journey planners and on www.thameslinkrailway.com and www.greatnorthernrail.com.
