It what has become the new normal for travellers, this time there’ll be no trains across the majority of the Thameslink (GTR) network next Tuesday (May 7).

There’ll also be a very limited shuttle service between London St Pancras and Luton/Luton Airport Parkway. As well as an amended timetable will be in place from Monday (May 6) until Saturday, May 11, due to a nationwide overtime ban.

And if all that wasn’t bad enough, there’ll also be some engineering works happening across the May bank holiday.

Jenny Saunders, customer services director at GTR, said: “The majority of our services won’t be running on Tuesday, May 7. We’re really sorry if the disruption will affect your plans.”
