This weekend, train timetables will be altered, which will see Thameslink and Great Northern see improved services, taking advantage of a series of upgrades costing £4 billion.
Between Cambridge, Letchworth Garden City and London King’s Cross, there will be extra services during peak times to make trains more spacious.
Trains along the route to London and Cambridge will also be faster, with departures evenly spaced to avoid long waiting times.
During the morning peak, there will also be new departures from stations such as Bayford, Cuffley and Crews Hill.
Journey planners have been updated accordingly and can be viewed online.
“For our customers travelling to and from stations between London, Hertford North, Cambridge and King’s Lynn, this timetable will mean more passenger space at peak times where it is needed most, quicker trips to and from London from key destinations and more evenly spaced departure times so customers don’t need to wait as long for a train.
“The timetable will also ensure we are ready for new services to be introduced at Cambridge South station when it opens in June.”
Govia Thameslink Railway Chief Operating Officer John Whitehurst

And there are plans for Transport for London to take over the Northern City Line (Moorgate-Stevenage, Welwyn Garden City and Hertford North) and to be part of the London Overground with a new name to be added.
