Govia wins the new TSGN rail franchise (ie Southern again)

Post by Likelife »

If you where hoping for Southern to be gone soon, you're out of luck, their parent company Govia has won. TSGN stands for Thameslink, Southern & Great Northern and really they're concentrating most improvements on Thameslink routes. There will be new Gatwick Express trains but I can't really see any difference for us in Sydenham, things will pretty much stay the same for now. Govia haven't been bad since Connex days so I'm not complaining. You can read their promises in a press release here: http://www.southernrailway.com/southern ... franchise/
