We aim to inform you of changes to this timetable at stations and on our website. This timetable shows all First Capital Connect services operating between Bedford, Luton, Luton Airport Parkway, St Albans, London, Wimbledon, Sutton, East Croydon, Gatwick Airport and Brighton (and trains we run jointly with Southeastern to/from Beckenham Junction, Sevenoaks and Orpington) from Sunday 12 December 2010 to Saturday 21 May 2011. Details of First Capital Connect services on the Great Northern route are available in Train Times booklet A. This timetable shows services of all operators between London, Luton and Bedford but only First Capital Connect services between London and Brighton. For other services between London and Sutton/Brighton please see Southern Railway publicity. 2 Welcome to First Capital Connect Dear Customer Welcome to the December 2010 edition of the Thameslink timetable. Since the start of our franchise in 2006, we’ve added over 11,000 extra seats across the morning and evening rush hours to reduce overcrowding on the Thameslink route. Almost 5,000 of those are thanks to the Thameslink Programme, a massive £5.5bn scheme through which we have already put into service 23 new air-conditioned Electrostar trains. But much more needs to be done and we’re pushing ahead with the second stage to introduce the first 50% longer, 12-carriage trains between Bedford and Brighton in December 2011. These initial services will run fast between St Albans and London, but they will take the pressure off services calling intermediately. There will be new or remodelled stations at Blackfriars, Farringdon, Bedford and West Hampstead Thameslink and engineering work every night and most weekends. For further details visit: thameslinkprogramme.co.uk On Saturdays and Sundays, St Pancras International to St Albans/Luton all-stations services will only operate between Kentish Town and St Albans/Luton. This change is necessary because of work in conjunction with the Thameslink Programme. Check the timetables in this booklet for details. A full summary of changes is available at firstcapitalconnect.co.uk or on station posters. Don’t forget that we produce a wide range of handy sized mini timetables for all routes and commuter cards for our busiest stations. Pick up a copy from your local station. Engineering work can affect train times, particularly at weekends and overnight. Check pages 22–31 for details of work planned at the time of printing.

If you need a few hints on how to use this timetable, the notes on pages 20 and 21 may help you. Always check before travelling We try to run the service shown in this booklet whenever we can, however it is important that you check for any engineering work or service disruption before you travel. Engineering work Services may be altered, particularly at weekends, overnight and on bank holidays. A summary of planned changes (correct at the time of printing) is included on pages 22–31.
