The rail industry is currently considering proposals regarding the introduction of the new Thameslink service between Maidstone East and Cambridge.

The disruption following the timetable change in May 2018 was completely unacceptable and the Government is committed to ensuring that future timetable changes are comprehensively planned and managed to avoid the risk of passenger disruption.
