Asked by:

The new Thameslink timetable to be introduced from May 2018 has been developed by Govia Thameslink Railway as Thameslink operator, working with Network Rail and other rail industry stakeholders including the Department for Transport (DfT).

The proposed timetable has been considered both by DfT and the rail industry and the Secretary of State for Transport has agreed to phase its introduction to reduce the risk of disruption to passengers.
