About Thameslink
Thameslink is part of the British rail network, operated on behalf of the Department for Transport. Thameslink services run 24 hours a day with trains usually every 20-30 minutes, and coverage between Kent, Surrey, Hertfordshire, and London. Other major stations within the Thameslink network include the London Bridge and Luton Airport Parkway.
Thameslink has first-class and standard-class seating, with first-class portions of the train separated by internal glass doors at either end of the train. During peak times, electronic displays show which carriages are busiest (and therefore might have standing room only) and the location of onboard restrooms. Trains also have dedicated spaces for luggage, disabled passengers, and those traveling with bicycles.
Seat reservations are not required for boarding a Thameslink service and are unavailable for purchase. However, buying your tickets for Thameslink services in advance whenever possible is still advisable since last-minute purchases will cost you more.
Thameslink has partnered with Wanderu since 2017, meaning that Wanderu provides the best prices and up-to-date schedules. So get where you want to go without fuss and at a lower cost by buying train tickets on Wanderu!
