The journey to 2018 - Consultation
To ensure a high performing network that
meets the needs of passengers, some
significant changes to the Thameslink network
are proposed from those that have been
previously announced
2018 Thameslink proposals
Network Rail has identified issues
with the proposed 2018 timetable
- 24tph development timetable to
be operated throughout the
Thameslink route
Whilst 24tph can be delivered
through the Thameslink Core,
there were presentation issues
across Sussex, Kent, Midland
Mainline and East Coast Mainline
routes
Why the timetable has to change
1. Services to and from Wimbledon Loop through the
Thameslink Core
2. Services from Brighton Main Line to Bedford
3. Services from Brighton Main Line to East Coast Main
Line
4. Midland Main Line – 6 high speed paths are required
5. East Coast Main Line – 8 high speed paths required
What couldn’t change
1. Retiming of services
2. Reallocation of stops
3. Changes to linkages north & south of “TL Core”
4. Remapping of services between operators
5. Minor infrastructure enhancements
6. Some additional rolling stock
7. Changes to rolling stock layout NOT Class 700
8. Removal of (GTR) train services where there is no
capacity to accommodate them
Proposals should offer value for money and be deliverable
What could change
Demand Analysis
Identifying where passengers travel currently
and predicting future flows is key to
developing a network that meets this need.
This is the first stage in any timetable
development

Thameslink Kent routes identified for review
2018 Timetable: Proposed Kent routes
2018 Timetable: 8tph option from Kent
Divert Maidstone East
services via London
Bridge. Improves
journey times and
creates new journey
opportunities
Facilitates reduction of
2tph via Windmill
Bridge
Southwark Reversible
and Line 4
infrastructure (not used
in current plan) will be
utilised as originally
intended.
Potential for train
lengthening of Medway
services to Luton
without changes to
train service or
infrastructure
(except stabling)
• kkkkk
Summary of Kent options and recommendation
• Fails to resolve capacity issue at Windmill Bridge Junction therefore not considered suitable for further development 6tph
• Improves capacity issue at Windmill Bridge Junction
• Southwark Reversible and Line 4 infrastructure (not used in current plan) will be utilised as originally intended
• Allows potential for future train lengthening (Brent Cross / Luton Airport) without changes to train service or infrastructure (except stabling) as Medway via Greenwich route cleared for 12 car operation
• Divert Maidstone East services via London Bridge. Improves journey times and creates new journey opportunities
• Mitigates issues on East Coast Main Line by allowing flexible north to south links
8tph
• Reduction of Cannon Street services (already reduced from 25tph to 22tph) to less than 22tph
• Reduction of Thameslink trains via London Bridge to 14tph, increasing E&C to 10tph compromising the established business case
• Imports significant issues into London Bridge Low Level
• Too much conventional rolling stock required to back fill the loss of Class 700 units from Sussex
10tph
South London Metro and Mainline
Significant proposals to
redesign the Southern
network aimed at improving
the network
Southern South London Metro and Mainline: Simplification
Complex array of routes and frequencies exist serving
multiple markets
Poor performance impacts wider Network, via interworking of
crews and units with Southern Mainline
10-car metro introduced on multiple routes in 2013 to deliver
capacity but flexibility has reduced
Systematic review across the South London Metro area
required which should include:
1. Analysis of capacity and demand
2. Review of sectional running times and junction margins
3. Enhanced dwell times at key stations
4. Increased turnaround times at suburban stations
5. Simplified workings at terminal stations maximise 10-
cars on capable routes
6. Potential additional resources required
Complete review and recast involving the following services:
• London Bridge to West Croydon via Tulse Hill
• London Bridge to Beckenham Junction
• Victoria to London Bridge via Crystal Palace
• Caterham and Tattenham Corner routes
• Dorking / Epsom / Sutton routes
Improved service frequency and
increased capacity addressing
current overcrowding

Next steps
Changing the marketing model
Telling our story
Justin Baines, Head of Marketing
The role of marketing • This franchises puts us in a unique position to ultimately improve rail travel for
millions of customers
• This is through a period of investment to modernise (make more reliable) and improve (make more comfortable) the service on all of lines
• However, ensuring doing that means major changes to the hub of London Bridge station and the Thameslink ‘core’ of stations through London
• These changes to a still operating railway are causing more disruption to journeys than was forecast which requires a change in approach to everything we do, including marketing:
• We therefore need to:
– Identify the scale of and unique challenges we face
– Respond to them in a positive way that is appropriate to the many groups we must address
– Propose a new model of communications for the franchise which moves the emphasis away from selling to service, integrating what we do in meaningful ways to help our customers manage their journeys positively
Our narrative has to face challenges
We are running a new and complicated franchise on a network with sub
optimal capacity and resilience
Whilst it’s happening now, improving our rolling stock takes time
We are carrying more people than ever before, a number that is growing
even whilst we are building and a large percentage of those people rely on
us for their daily commute
Changes to the way we need to operate to offer better service and greater
resilience causes its own issues with our own people
Our ability to inform our customers in the way that they want and expect is
compromised (systems that work well enough in more normal situations are
not sufficient)
Frustrated customers communicate widely on social media faster than we
can give them information in our usual channels
Four key pillars of the new approach
WARN
Use all of the
information we have
on journeys to pre-
arm customers with
information.
People would rather
take control of their
own journey and
change their plans
than suffer an
avoidable delay
INFORM
To the best of our
ability, use every
channel available to
inform and empower
during their journeys
If we can direct to
helpful information
we can help people
take action,
understand and
respond
‘CELBRATE’
Tell people about
achievements, but
in bite-sized pieces
that make sense –
e.g. next month this
will be complete
Reframe
improvements as
helping journeys –
e.g. Wi-Fi = access
to better information
at no cost
APOLOGISE
Things will go
wrong. Both public
and individual
apologies help
Actively promote
Delay Repay
Increase cover in
social media
channels
Next steps
• Start with our own media channels
first and expanding to external media
when IR position is clearer
• Creating new executions as the
improvements happen across all
areas of customer’s journeys: better
information and apps, better service
on trains and in stations
• Maintaining an open approach to the
situation and driving for change from
all involved parties to the single focus
of improving the service we offer
•The Key
•KeyGo
•Oyster to Gatwick
•Ticket Machines
Journey improvements through retailing
Key Card Takeup
KeyGo
• Getting ready for network wide keyGo – effectively PAYG for the railway
• Valid across Southern outside London (expanding to London and Thameslink
Great Northern in September 2016)
• Customer associates credit/debit card with Key card and then taps and goes
• Fully integrated with Metrobus & Brighton and Hove so genuinely multi-modal
94
KeyGo
• Best value any permitted
fares for the day
• Capped bus fares in Surrey
and Sussex
• Fares deducted in blocks of
£25 from Debit/Credit card
• No queuing, no ticket
confusion all you have to do
is tap your card and the
system does the rest…
Gatwick Airport Oyster
• Currently GTR has 571 Ticket Vending Machines issuing
41,700,000 tickets a year
• Busiest Ticket Machines issue up to 1,400 tickets a day
• Installing 63 new machines by September 2016 (+11%)
• The last 11 stations that have no ticket buying facilities are
included so every GTR station will have at least one machine
• TVM availability has been steadily improving at 98% average in
the last 3 weeks
• Aiming to upgrade most of the older machines during 2017 and
to adjust some of the screen

Modernising our Stations
Our plan is to make our staff more visible and available to everyone using the station by
bringing them out from the ticket office and on to the station concourse as Station
Hosts.
We know these changes are important to you, which is why we held a public consultation to hear
your views.
Overview
The public consultation held in February 2016 has been critical in
refining the Hosted Station concept and has allowed GTR to directly
address the concerns of the customer.
• GTR has worked to directly address each point and the responses have been supported by
London Travel Watch and Transport Focus.
• GTR are not planning to stop here. Ongoing engagement with the passenger groups and
disability groups will continue to help ensure the Modernisation delivers the best outcome
for all customers
• The common themes and questions are addressed in the following slides
Public Consultation
I want to be able to buy the
full range, and best value,
tickets from the station
We will be retaining the ticket office machines so that we can continue to
sell the full range of tickets (including railcards) that you can buy from
ticket offices today.
Our Station Hosts will be available to sell tickets and offer advice on the
best tickets for the journey you are making.
Ticket Availability
I want to be served by a
person; staff availability
will reduce
Our Station Hosts will be there to help you buy the most appropriate ticket for your journey and to
provide advice and information.
The only difference is that our Station Hosts will be helping you on the concourse instead of the
ticket office, so we can increase the availability of the staff to all customers using the station.
They will also be there for longer than the ticket offices are open today.
The stations where we are introducing Station Hosts will have a member of staff available from the
first service of the day to the last, seven days a week.
We will also have staff on platforms for train dispatch and assistance, as we do today.
Staff Availability
I want staff assistance
getting around stations and
onto trains
Our Station Hosts will be more visible and readily accessible to provide assistance
and information. At most stations there will be a Hosted Information Point so that it is
clearly recognisable where this assistance can be given.
Together with our platform staff who are unaffected by these changes, our Station
Hosts will be available to help anyone who requires assistance when travelling.
We are also working with disability user groups and other key stakeholders to ensure
we consider the needs of disabled passengers. Our Accessibility Impact Statement
outlines further details about the changes and how we are making things better for our
passengers with accessibility needs.
Station Accessibility
The ticket machines are not
always available or reliable
We continue to work with our suppliers to improve the functionality of our self-service
machines which already have high rates of reliability. Our ticket office staff help keep
these machines in service but at busy times cannot get out of the ticket office to fix
them or report any faults.
With our proposals, Station Hosts will be able to keep a closer eye on the ticket
machines as they will be on the concourse, not in the ticket office. The longer hours of
duty that Hosts are in place at stations will enable essential activities like topping up
tickets and change to be done at quieter times of the day and in readiness for peak
times.
We are installing 63 additional ticket machines across the network to meet the growing
demand for self service and are looking to make further ticket types available
Ticket Machines
How do I get refunds, Delay
Repay compensation
vouchers exchanged and
other processes?
Our Station Hosts will be able to help you in the same way that ticket office
staff do today.
They will have access to ticket office equipment for more complex
transactions and processes such as refunds and cashing compensation
vouchers.
Refunds
Will queuing times
increase?
We are committing to maintaining the queuing standards that are in place today. You
will not have to queue for any longer to buy tickets.
We are developing station operating plans to ensure demand is met at each station,
providing additional staff as required at busier times or when special events are
taking place.
Queuing Times
I am concerned that the
service I receive at a station
will get worse
We strongly believe our plans are the right way to go but we understand that you’ll
have some concerns.
That’s why we plan to soft launch at a few stations that are changing to allow us to
prove that the concept works and refine our plans as necessary before we introduce
the changes more widely. We are determined to improve your experience at our
stations, not worsen it.
Station Experience
The modernisation will result in some very tangible benefits to the
customer and the quality of station service delivered by GTR.
• Increased staff presence to assist customers with ticket purchases, provision of information and
assistance
• Across 83 stations staff assistance with buying tickets will increase by over 2,600 hours a week compared
to current ticket office opening times
• 83 stations will be staffed from the first train of the day to the last train of the day
• Passengers will still be able to buy the full range of tickets at these station
• Station facilities, such as waiting rooms and lifts will be available for longer periods of the day
• Improved assisted travel arrangements and times of operation
• Improved safety and security for our passengers
• Increased number of TVMs available at stations
Benefit Summary
Modernising our Stations is a complex process involving staff, unions and customers.
The plan is to “Soft Launch” the concept in September 2016 with a view to refine the
concept ahead of full the conversion of stations
• The soft launch stations have been provisionally identified as City Thameslink, Polegate, Denmark Hill,
South Croydon, Enfield Chase, Battersea Park, Cricklewood, West Norwood and Royston
• We are continuing to work with our station teams and our trade unions on station by station operation and
implementation plans. This is not a ‘broad brush’ approach - service for customers and the safety of our
staff will be paramount in defining the station plans
• The acceleration of customer “Channel Shift” to new available technologies and products will be key to
facilitating the concept. This will be done by offering new technology and products, empowering staff to
help educate customers and a strong marketing campaign
• A training package is being developed to help to equip staff with the skills required to host a stations
including a renewed focus on customer service via the One Step Ahead initiative
• Although public consultation has ended, GTR will continue to work closely with the passenger bodies and
disability groups to ensure we deliver a service that meets the expectation of the customer
