    Thameslink and Southern timetable reduction from 26th July 2021

    The train planning teams / Roster clerks will also factor in what depots sign what routes for example Horsham drivers don’t sign up to Cambridge but they do cover 9S trips between Three Bridges - Finsbury Park so there’s extra resources available for that particular run also what’s been...
