Thameslink services

As a number of members travel to Marshall House using this service I have indicated those dates that the service is affected by engineering works. I have shown {M} where minor inconvenience is expected and {S} where the disruption is expected to be more serious. These judgements are subjective so you are advised to check the First Capital Conect website before you travel.

The Victoria line is also subject to engineering work, you are advised to check the TFL website before travelling.
