Is that Monday to Friday only or do they run on a Saturday too?

Weekdays only at present.

 

[djpontrack]

Thanks for the quick reply GW43125. Do you know if more services are planned on this line? Perhaps later services or Sat and Sun services?

I honestly have no idea. I know as much as you do I'm afraid.

There should be 8 passenger trains each weekday (2 return trips Cambridge - Brighton and 2 return trips Peterborough - Horsham)

As far as I know these are it until May 20th.

 

[djpontrack]

I've just had a look on RTT for Saturday 26th of May and there appears to be a half hourly service from Horsham to Peterborough and an hourly service from Brighton to Cambridge.

I think the original question is about now, ie the preview service...

 

[greatkingrat]

For some reason neither of the Peterborough to Horsham services are showing in RTT for w/c 26 March, although both the Horsham to Peterborough services are still there.

I can’t see any PBO-HRH services on National Rail either - I used the 09:46 departure from PBO a couple of times. Annoying as I’ve appreciated the direct link to BFR/LBG.

It is still running but unsure why its not showing.

I thought I read somewhere that some Great Northern services will run to St Pancras via the Canal Tunnel this bank holiday weekend could somebody clarify this?

The morning PBO-HRH service appears to have returned on National Rail:

Not on an aware this. Just a normal Saturday service for Friday and Monday is what GN are advertising.

 

[AM9]

As an aside, those fares seem to be lower than offered in any option on BRFares. Could that be as a result of direct trains running through the core to 'Thameslink Stations'?

I hope what I read was true it would be interesting to traverse the Canal Tunnels on a 365 or a 387.

Absolutely no chance of that happening.

 

[AM9]

Even if there was any desire to do such a thing, a 365 would struggle to get up the incline between City Thameslink and Blackfriars, - it is rather difficult to ascend a 1:29 gradient with no power. So just what sort of an 'interesting' journey would there be running from Bell Isle junction to St Pancreas and back in a tunnel. Fantastic views though!

 

[StephenHunter]

Also, isn't the voltage change over at Farringdon?

Farringdon south bound and City Thameslink north bound.
