The 0744 Bedford to Elephant & Castle train will be extended to Sutton via Wimbledon, calling at London Blackfriars, Herne Hill and all stations to Sutton via Wimbledon. This service will no longer call at Elephant & Castle.

On Saturdays, the 1907, 1937, 2007 and 2037 Brighton to Bedford services will call additionally at West Hampstead Thameslink, and the 1754, 1824 and 1854 Bedford to Brighton services will also call additionally at West Hampstead Thameslink.
New timetable books will be delivered to stations early next month.

“The end of sustained closures across central London for Thameslink Programme engineering work has allowed us to deliver these improvements.”
