Geplaatst: za 24 mei 2014, 00:39
DfT has announced its intention to award the new Thameslink, Southern and Great Northern (TSGN) franchise to Govia Thameslink Railway Limited.
Three new state-of-the-art electric train fleets will mean more services and seats, faster journeys and better connections across many of the busiest rail routes in London and the south east after the government announced today (23 May 2014) its intention to award the new Thameslink, Southern and Great Northern (TSGN) franchise to Govia Thameslink Railway Limited.
The TSGN franchise will replace the existing Thameslink and Great Northern franchise (operated as First Capital Connect) from 14 September 2014 and will include the South Central franchise (operated as Southern and Gatwick Express) when it expires on 26 July 2015. A small number of services and stations will also transfer from the South Eastern franchise by 21 December 2014. The current franchises provide around 273 million passenger journeys annually.

Govia heeft de aanbesteding van de Thameslink, Southern and Great Northern rail concessie gewonnen. Dit omvat voorstadsvervoer ten noorden én zuiden van London en wat lokaal vervoer aan de zuidkust (met name rond Brighton) en is een samenvoeging van de huidige Thameslink and Great Northern concessie (voorstadsvervoer ten noorden van London + een spoorlijn dwars door London, momenteel uitgevoerd door First) en de South Central concessie (voorstadsvervoer ten zuiden van London + lokaal vervoer aan de zuidkust, momenteel reeds uitgevoerd door Govia).
Er komen veel nieuwe treinen en de stations worden verbeterd.
