Up-to-the-minute information about current engineering works and any other service disruptions on Great Northern.
Train Service Updates & Status
Train times will change from Sunday 12 December as we introduce our Winter timetable. The timetable introduction will be phased, with the last phase introduced after the holiday period on Tuesday 4 January 2022. Until 4 January there will be temporary service reductions and changes
on some routes, alongside some improvements where these are possible.
The phased introduction of the timetable will support significant engineering works over the Christmas and New Year period and help to ensure planned services are as reliable as possible with the ongoing impact of coronavirus. It will also reflect changes to services during bank holidays and the Christmas week.
The last phase will be introduced as schools and businesses start to return and from 4 January, more Southern, Thameslink and Great Northern services will run on weekdays, and Gatwick Express services will return seven days per week.
