  • Southern, Thameslink and Great Northern train times have changed. This affects weekday and weekend train services.

    Check before you travel - Monday 6 July:

    A revised timetable is operating, particularly on weekdays and Saturdays. A reduced number of trains will be available.

    It is still important that you don't travel by public transport unless you are making a necessary journey and have no other option. 

    It is now mandatory to wear face coverings on public transport services (unless you are exempt). For more information, please visit this FAQ page.

    Always plan your journey in advance:

    You can check your journey up to (and including) Friday 28 August using the National Rail Enquiries real-time Journey Planner.

    If you are travelling on or after Saturday 29 August, please check back nearer the time.

    Some very early morning, late evening and weekend trains will still be affected by planned engineering works.

    I want to avoid busier trains:

    We are carefully monitoring all trains and stations for increased passenger numbers. We are adding alerts to specific trains in online Journey Planners where we expect trains to be busy.

    Southern travel advice:

    - East Croydon station is usually busiest between 06:00 and 07:00.

    - Trains between East Croydon and London are busy between 06:00 and 08:00.

    - Trains between Sutton and London Victoria (via Selhurst or via Mitcham Junction) are busy between 05:30 and 08:30. We've added extra trains, and increased the number of coaches on trains for these routes where we can.

    - Trains leaving London Victoria and London Bridge are busiest between 16:00 and 19:00.

    - When the weather is warm, particularly at weekends, trains from London Victoria to the coast are busiest from 09:00 through to 12:00. Trains back to London are busiest from 16:00 through to 19:00.

     

    Thameslink travel advice:

    - East Croydon station gets busy between 06:00 and 07:00.

    - Trains between East Croydon and London are busy between 06:00 and 08:00.

    - Trains between Rainham and London Bridge that arrive in London between 07:00 and 08:00 get busy during the journey.

    - Trains between Sevenoaks and London Blackfriars that arrive in London between 06:45 and 08:00 get busy during the journey.

    - Trains between London Blackfriars and Sevenoaks that leave London between 16:45 and 18:00 are busy.

    - When the weather is warm, particularly at weekends, trains from London Blackfriars or London Bridge to Brighton are busiest from 09:00 through to 12:00. Trains back to London are busiest from 16:00 through to 19:00.

     

    Great Northern travel advice:

    - Finsbury Park is busiest between 07:30 and 08:30.

    - We've been able to add new services between Hertford North and London to support social distancing - please check ahead using a journey planner.
