City Thameslink

Thank you sincerely to Nicola who was very compassionate caring and helpful to my 80 year old mom and special needs brother
Her assistance was absolutely invaluable to me as her daughter as they were returning to Luton Airport Parkway today on the train from Blackfriars that arrived approximately 12.31 pm she escorted them too the Dart and assisted with bags as my mom was exceptionally stressed
It truly meant the world
Nicole if only all staff were as competent and kind as you you truly are a credit to Thameslink
Thank you enormously

City Thameslink Station is served by Thameslink trains which go to many destinations including King's Cross St Pancras, Luton and Gatwick Airports Brighton, Bedford and Finsbury Park. There are two entrances to this station one on Ludgate Hill and the other at Holborn Vladuct the ticket hall area is large and wide with many ticket barriers to use. There is lift access to both platforms along with escalators the station has toilets in the ticket hall area along with a cash machine costa coffee shop and shoe repair shop too. During the weekdays the station is very busy but on weekends the station is quiet and empty at certain times on weekends the station is closed and trains won't stop here. The station was clean and tidy City Thameslink is one of my favourite train stations very nice station.

The trains I get never seem to let passengers on or off here but they just stop here so that they can change the train's power collection from third rail to overhead wires. This means that the train sounds completely different when departing than it did when arriving.

It was clean. There are lots of stairs. The ticket gates were not all working properly.

A while ago my Zip card got denied at this station due to not enough funds or something. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind and helped me with this issue. I was on a planned journey and due to their fast service, I was able to catch the bus I planned to get on as well. Overall, the staffs' service was amazing.

Great station, we use this when we're travelling from South London and want to visit the city. Very convenient stop and if you get on here you are always likely to get a seat rather than fight for one at London Bridge. Also has public toilets. Takes 30mins to walk to Covent Garden and less than 5 mins walk away from St Pauls.

Make sure you know what bit of the train you want… or it’s a long run!
Two giant platforms, two entrances and most of London in between. Nothing fancy.
Heaving at rush hour, empty in between. Get’s commuters there and back.
