Govia Thameslink Railway

GTR is the UK's largest rail franchise

Govia Thameslink Railway is a train operating company, made up of a family of trusted regional brands - Southern, Gatwick Express, Thameslink and Great Northern. Since 2015, 24% of all passenger rail journeys in the UK have been on our services. We’re investing heavily in the infrastructure and technology on our lines, so we can deliver more. More trains, more seats, more services, more routes, more station improvements, more platforms with WiFi and more information. Above all, we want to give our customers and our people more say – to help us create a better rail service for everyone.

GTR is part of Govia – a partnership between two world-class transport operators – the Go-Ahead Group and Keolis.
