🚄🇬🇧✨ The first Great #British #Railways (GBR) branded train has been unveiled in #Brighton ahead of Govia #Thameslink #Railway (GTR) entering public ownership on 31 May. The red, white and blue livery will gradually appear across England’s rail network as the Government moves towards a single publicly owned railway under GBR.
GTR, which operates Thameslink, Southern, Great Northern and #Gatwick Express, is Britain’s largest train operator. Its transfer means more than 11,000 publicly owned services will run each weekday. Ministers say the reforms aim to reduce fragmentation, improve reliability and simplify ticketing, including through a future GBR app.
The #UK Government says publicly owned operators are performing better on punctuality and cancellations on average, while passengers are also benefiting from frozen rail fares. The full transition to public ownership is expected to be completed by the end of 2027.

#Ofsted has praised Southern Rail’s driver apprenticeship scheme at #Selhurst, #London, awarding it a ‘good’ overall rating and highlighting ‘outstanding’ behaviours and attitudes. Inspectors noted the 135 apprentices flourish in a culture of positivity and mutual respect, have strong attendance, and feel safe and proud to work in the rail industry. Trainers were commended for skilfully structuring learning and using varied assessment methods, while leaders have improved teaching of functional skills. The scheme, part of Govia #Thameslink #Railway, was praised for producing well-rounded apprentices.

Govia #Thameslink #Railway (GTR), the UK’s largest train operator, has released CCTV footage of buggy-related incidents to raise safety awareness during Rail Safety Week (16-22 June). The clips show empty pushchairs rolling onto tracks and a parent falling while alighting with a buggy. This year, GTR recorded 13 child-related safety incidents at stations, up from 36 last year. The main causes are parents alighting forwards with buggy wheels caught in gaps and children not supervised when boarding or leaving trains.
GTR urges passengers to hold children securely, use buggy brakes on platforms, strap children in, and stay behind the yellow line. To help, GTR is distributing 840 copies of Arlo’s Adventure Rail Safety book at 12 stations with the highest incidents, including Gatwick Airport, London Victoria, and East Croydon. Samantha Facey, GTR’s Health, Safety & Security Director, stresses the need for vigilance to keep families safe during busy summer months.

Govia #Thameslink #Railway and West #Sussex County Council's Violence Reduction Unit have funded a #mentoring programme to reduce antisocial behaviour in West Sussex. Delivered by the Dame Kelly Holmes Trust, the programme featured #Olympic and Paralympic athletes mentoring young people from schools in Lancing, Burgess Hill, Littlehampton, and Crawley. Athletes Sarah Ayton, Liz Johnson, and Hannah Beharry worked to boost students' confidence, resilience, and self-esteem, helping them avoid risky behaviours like playing on tracks. The 11-week programme concluded with celebration events, including a sailing taster session. This initiative is part of efforts to address antisocial behaviour around stations, especially along the Southern West Coastway route. Local authorities and partners are working together to create safer environments and offer young people positive opportunities.

On 15 March 2025, #Arriva Rail #London (ARL) launched a special service from West #Croydon to London Bridge to assist passengers during essential engineering works. This service ran every 30 minutes, stopping at all stations along the Windrush line to New Cross Gate, then continuing to London Bridge instead of the usual route to Highbury & Islington.
ARL staff were stationed at London Bridge to support passengers, alongside colleagues from Govia #Thameslink #Railway (GTR), who assisted with train dispatch. GTR driver instructors also accompanied ARL drivers in the cab for guidance on the route, ensuring safety and efficiency.
Gunnar Lindahl, ARL's operations director, expressed satisfaction with the service, highlighting its role in providing a seamless travel experience during a typically challenging day. He noted the commitment to reliable travel options and the potential for similar initiatives in the future to enhance passenger convenience.

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.

#Tooting station in south-west #London has completed a £5.4m #accessibility upgrade, with two new platform lifts now open, providing step-free access for wheelchair users and those with mobility issues. The project, finished in January 2024, included CCTV installation, widened footways, and a £57,000 investment by #Thameslink for a wide ticket gate. The station's entrance and ticket hall are also being refurbished with new lighting and a ceiling. The work was carried out with minimal disruption to passengers. The Access for All scheme, funded by the government and managed by Network Rail, aims to make stations more accessible for all.

City #Thameslink remains closed and so I’m rediscovering parts of London that have been redeveloped since I was last a regular walker of their snickleways.
Also glad I still have a wider vocabulary than the spellchecker (with snickleway) though worried that it tried to capitalise walker. Has it been watching #TheWalkingDead without me? -

@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.

Something must be going very wrong at St Albans. In theory it has an excellent one-stop service to St Pancras.
