Great Northern and Thameslink Customer Advice

Your journey is likely to be severely delayed. Some trains will be revised, only completing parts of their normal journeys. There will also be some cancellations.

It's likely that you may need to use another route, if there's a practical alternative. We'll let you know more details shortly.

You'll be able to see further updates on this page, so please continue to check back here.

Changes to services:

When we know more about changes to trains in this area, we'll update this part of advice, so you can see how your train may be altered.

If you're waiting on a train which is delayed between stations:

If your train is delayed between stations, please remain where you are and listen to announcements, or speak to staff for further information.

Please don't leave the train unless you are asked to do so. Other trains may still be moving in the area, and the track is also a very hazardous environment. In areas where the trains are powered by an electric third rail, this usually stays live and dangerous during incidents, and looks the same as other rails.

Ticket acceptance on alternative routes:

Teams are currently working with other public transport companies to make sure that your ticket will be accepted on other routes.

When you're able to use another option for your journey, we'll let you know the details here.
