@spike1973 Hi Michael, this service was delayed by a speed restriction over defective track, unfortunately. If you would like to submit a formal complaint, you can do so here: https://t.co/z5AZrPWNCm ^Silva

[Thameslink @TLRailUK]

As mentioned above, these decisions are often taken to avoid further disruption on the line and prevent congestion caused by several trains running late in the same area. I appreciate this still affects your journey and do apologise for that.

If you were delayed by 15 minutes or more, you can claim compensation here: https://t.co/2U2rlL2CTG ^Silva

@BenDBollard You can use your ticket to travel to Hove, yes. The next service to Brighton would be the delayed 17:29, now expected at 17:42 from Burgess Hill. ^Silva

Hi Shushanna. This train was unfortunately delayed by a person being sadly hit by a train between Welwyn Garden City and Alexandra Palace: https://t.co/v8P0qAO3m4

For this reason, trains running between Finsbury Park and London have been severely disrupted this afternoon, including your one. ^Silva

@BenDBollard Hi there. May I know where are you travelling from, please? ^Silva

[Thameslink @TLRailUK]

As previously advised, the section that you're looking in does not show cancelled trains. This shows trains that are running for your journey only.

However, if you navigate to the section of the picture I showed, this will provide you with details of the trains that were cancelled. ^Kirsty

[Thameslink @TLRailUK]

You can see the cancellation of both services in the live departures section. The search bar that you're using only shows trains running for your specific journey. However, as the 16:45 ran but from London Bridge and the 17:45 was cancelled in its entirety, it wouldn't be a valid train to display in this section that you're looking at. ^Kirsty
