Customer Advice

The 19:55 Peterborough to Horsham service is currently delayed in the City Thameslink area due to a fault on the train.

This is now causing delays to other southbound Thameslink trains via Central London.

If teams are unable to reopen the route soon, they will arrange for your ticket to be valid on other local public transport routes, which you may need to use to complete your journey.

At the moment, please leave at least 20 minutes of extra time to get to your destination.

Can you tell me more about the incident?

Teams are working with the train crew and Fleet teams to move the defective train as soon as possible, which has a fault with its pantograph. This is the equipment on the roof of the train which draws power from the overhead electric wires.
