PASSENGERS are advised to check before they travel this winter due to revised timetables which will see more services introduced for the festive period.

Thameslink will offer passengers additional weekday services starting from Monday.

The additional peak services will operate across the network from Cambridge, Peterborough, Brighton, St Albans, Horsham, Rainham, Luton, Orpington, East Grinstead, Bedford and on the Wimbledon loop.

Most Southern and Gatwick Express services will remain unchanged and there will be no change to weekend services across the GTR network.

As part of the introduction, 12 night services will also be introduced from January 7.

Due to the extra trains there will be more staff at key stations to help.

Passengers are reminded Network Rail will be carrying out essential work at this time at London Victoria and Kentish Town.
