With this being one of the commuter routes which has been plunged into chaos since the new timetable change from Thameslink / Great Northern I thought I'd go and check out what all the fuss was about. Using the new tunnel in London, trains now run between Peterborough and Cambridge not only into King's Cross but through St Pancras and south of the Thames to Gatwick Airport and beyond. However the introduction of this new timetable has caused endless trains to be cancelled and journeys to be disrupted because of lack of trains and lack of staff to operate the amount of trains that have been introduced. In this video you can see plenty of 12-car peak services coming and going from London, some were only delayed slightly but you don't see in this video is the services that were cancelled altogether. Many services south of the Thames had been cancelled or at least partially cancelled for part of the journey which is very frustrating. Luckily I was travelling on Virgin East Coast, which has just lost its franchise. But luckily still manages to run its trains.
INCLUDES: Great Northern 387's, 365's, 313's & Thameslink 700's, Virgin HST'S & 225's and Grand Central 180.
As it stands there is currently an emergency timetable in operation to try and limit the number of services being cancelled. However hundreds of trains a day are still facing major disruption on the the Thameslink network. So we'll wait for some improvement.
Thanks for watching

Happy birthday Stevenage Station.. I was there the first day it opened for service July 23rd 1973!
Outstanding film as always Matthew. Thumbs up from me. Not many people going to London on your train eh?
Nice video
I too am affected by the timetable issues...
Great northern have completely removed my train from the timetable.
Can’t wait to see LNER take over the service later this month! I wonder what their livery will be like?
LNER are keeping the VTEC livery, just have a new logo.
That's disappointing news, I hope like East Coast they roll out some sort of livery change over time.
Yeah. I must agree, I'm not sure about the special liveries, like the 100 Sunderland ect.
Perhaps when the 800s enter service, there will be a new livery. Probably no point in repainting HSTs and 91s since they will be phased out over the next 2 years.
PetrolHead107 hope is not like The LONDONS NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY livery.
11:43 to 12:09 was pretty cool - 3 non-stop trains!
Was nice to see Thanks Matt
Indeed a view that is soon to change when LneR take over.
Thanks for sharing!!! :):):)
Very good video. I prefer Hitchin though as the view has less obstructions
