will enter service later this year. The full fleet will be in service by the end of

compliant with accessibility standards for heavy rail (the Persons of Reduced Mobility
Technical Specification for Interoperability – PRM-TSI).</p><p> </p><p>To aid boarding
and alighting, the Thameslink Programme is providing dedicated ramps at stations and
on board the trains, in addition to raised platform areas at busy central London stations
that will step free from street level to the new trains. The boarding positions will
be clearly indicated for disabled users.</p><p> </p>
