Who are we?

The Great Northern Railway was first established in 1846 to build a line between London and York.

Great Northern became a part of Govia Thameslink Railway in 2014.

Many of the services also run through parts of Greater London, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and Norfolk.
