Great Northern Emergency Timetable
Thameslink Emergency Timetable
Great Northern route
There will be a considerably reduced period of operation with no trains before 0700 or after 1900. On certain routes the hours of operation may be even more limited. Within these hours the following significantly reduced service will operate in both directions:
* 3 trains per hour between Moorgate and Hertford North calling at all stations (one service per hour in each direction will be extended to serve all stations between Moorgate and Stevenage via Hertford North)
* 3 trains per hour between Moorgate and Welwyn Garden City calling at all stations
* 2 trains per hour from King's Cross to Peterborough calling at Finsbury Park, Stevenage, Hitchin and all stations to Peterborough (and vice versa)
* 3 trains per hour between King's Cross and Cambridge with both limited stop and stopping services operating (two services per hour will be extended to serve Ely)
* Buses will replace trains between Ely and King's Lynn
As trains on the Great Northern route will finish much earlier than normal we anticipate last trains being very overcrowded, we therefore strongly suggest that you try to start your journey before 1600 as we will not be able to provide alternative transport if you miss the last train.

London to Wimbledon and Sutton
No service will operate, please use local bus, Tube and Tramlink services to complete your journey. We are sorry that we are unable to offer any service on the Sutton/Wimbledon route. Network Rail are unable to provide signallers for all routes and in light of the alternative Tube and bus routes available it has been decided that this route will not be staffed. We understand the difficulties this may cause to customers and on behalf of Network Rail we apologise for this.
London to Sevenoaks
Services on this route are provided by Southeastern, please visit southeasternrailway.co.uk for details of their intended service.
Cross-London services
There will be no cross-London services between St Pancras International and City Thameslink. Please use local bus and Tube services.
Other operators
All trains operating companies will be affected by the strike action, with most offering only a reduced service. All train companies that share the same routes as First Capital Connect will operate only during the same reduced hours. For details of the full arrangements of other companies visit nationalrail.co.uk or the specific train companies website.
Alternative routes
We are working with other transport providers to identify any alternative routes that may be available during the strike. In particular, customers with Oyster Cards may wish to consider using London bus and tube services to complete there journeys where possible.
