Good morning
A thin week for hard news, and the one item that affects commuters is the half-term Thameslink timetable. The rest is small-scale: library sessions for under-fives and an architects' visit on Morden Road.
The big story
Thameslink Greenwich Line drops to hourly trains in half-term
Thameslink will run an amended timetable between Luton, London and Rainham on Saturday 24 October and from Monday 26 to Friday 30 October. Trains stay half-hourly in the weekday peaks but run hourly at midday, and hourly all day on the Saturday. Southeastern services will still cover most journeys, though some passengers will need to change trains or wait longer, so check before setting out. READ →
