Mims Davies MP welcomes Upgrade to GTR Online Route Maps.
Customers planning their journeys on Southern, Thameslink, Great Northern and Gatwick Express trains can now check for engineering work up to 6 weeks in advance thanks to an upgrade to GTR's online route maps.
These maps can be found here:
https://livemap.southernrailway.com
https://livemap.thameslinkrailway.com
https://livemap.greatnorthernrail.com
To check for engineering work planned to take place in the future, customers can use the brand-new calendar function in the bottom left corner of the page to select the day and time they are looking to travel on. The map will then automatically update to show at a glance which routes will have an amended service due to rail improvement and maintenance work, or where rail replacement buses will be running.
Depending on the time the customer is planning to travel, it will also show where only late-night or early morning trains are affected and where normal services will run during the day.
If maps show that the full regular service will be in place customers will be able to plan their journey and book their tickets, or will be able to check the Planned Engineering Work pages for the full details if the maps show there will be an amended service in place.
As before, when set to live-time the maps also highlight routes that are experiencing unplanned disruption at the time of viewing, with customers able to click on stations to check the latest departure information.
This upgrade to the interactive route maps will make it more travel information clearer, more convenient and more useable for our customers.
Future updates and features are also planned as GTR continue to improve their system.
