#thameslink — Public Fediverse posts

Govia #Thameslink #Railway (GTR) has launched a podcast series showcasing scenic Sussex destinations. To celebrate the seven-episode series released on 20 March, over 30 guests attended a screening of ‘the Arun Valley Line: Beyond the Rails’ at The Capitol Horsham, featuring interviews with GTR staff and volunteers.

Tracy Jarvis, GTR's Corporate Social Responsibility Manager, highlighted the sustainability of train travel and encouraged exploration of hidden gems this spring. The initiative, commissioned by the Southeast Communities Rail Partnership (SCRP) and funded by #Horsham District Council and the #UK Government Shared Prosperity Fund, aims to promote local attractions accessible by train.

Rowena Tyler from SCRP noted the podcasts highlight the beauty of the Arun Valley Line, with plans to expand the project. Horsham District Council supports the series, aligning it with their goals of promoting sustainable travel and local tourism.

@respros
I'm no expert but I do use Thameslink & always assume the delays are so common because every train had done a long rural haul (with scope for cumulative trouble) before even leaving central LOndon.
Services terminating/starting in London have a big advantage as they can start on time.
