Thameslink Train at London Bridge Station

April 2019 — London Bridge Station’s Thameslink platforms represent one of the most advanced pieces of commuter rail infrastructure in the UK, rebuilt as part of the £1 billion redevelopment completed in 2018. The redesign introduced a vast concourse beneath the platforms, new canopies, and digital passenger systems to accommodate over 50 million travelers annually. Visible here is a Class 700 Thameslink train, part of Siemens’ Desiro City fleet, which operates high-frequency services linking Bedford, Brighton, and Cambridge through central London via the core Thameslink route.
