Hide details
Owing to ongoing disruption to Thameslink services as the new timetable is implemented, the following will apply until further notice:
- Valid ‘Thameslink Only’, ‘Southern Only’ and ‘Not Gatwick Express’ routed season, single and return tickets can be used on any Gatwick Express, Southern or Thameslink train service that will enable them to complete their journey
Please note:
- Time restrictions on the use of tickets and Railcards remain in place
- First class remains available only to those with a valid first class ticket.
I have an Any Permitted routed season ticket, can I change it?
Yes, please visit one of our ticket offices who will be able to assist with this as long as the original ticket has been issued for a validity of one month or more and there is at least 7 days’ validity remaining on the original ticket.
If your season ticket is still valid after these temporary arrangements expire, you will need to change your season ticket back to the original routed version and will need to pay the difference due.

Please note that during very busy times, staff may not be able to carry out the changeover straight away.
