The program will include the building of new stations, removal of bottlenecks, improving the track and signals and extending over 50 platforms, making a huge difference to passengers travelling to Mitcham Junction, Hackbridge, Carshalton and Sutton. Tom said: "Thameslink is such a key train service for many of my constituents I had to become a member of this group. We will focus on the things that matter to local commuters, such as overcrowding and information to passengers".
