PHIL HUTCHINSON, Govia Thameslink Railway’s Head of Strategic Planning, discusses the development of the new Thameslink timetable with Modern Railways
Reaching out onto four main line networks, with major new interchanges, Thameslink is becoming the heart of the UK rail network.
Introducing its new, extensive network of routes requires a ‘once in a generation’ timetable change, and GTR’s Phil Hutchinson says the company has set out to take the opportunity to have open, honest and transparent conversations about what the train service should be in the future, addressing weaknesses in the current timetable structure as it embarks on such a major timetable change.
