CR TME Brighton North Indirect (870101) G1
We provide rapid access along busy commuter routes to our seven cities, servicing the varied needs of our business and leisure commuter services, including cross border services and rural services. We have up to 50 freight services operating every day and we are steadily building capacity for this to grow. Our ambition to be responsive to passengers and freight users drives us every day and we're empowered to do the right thing for those who use the rail network. We actively challenge unsafe practices and take responsibility for addressing risks, resolving issues, and protecting safety and wellbeing.
Our colleagues are encouraged to work flexibly as we know that busy lives don't always fit around a traditional working pattern. If you need flexibility to complete your role, just let us know and we will do our utmost to help you invest in your career with us while balancing other aspects of your life.
The Sussex route, which includes the Brighton Main Line and its branch lines, is among the busiest and most congested in the country, carrying just under 4,000 scheduled passenger and freight services each day.
Principally a commuter route to and from London, the route is critical to the regional and national economy, transporting high volumes of travellers from the south coast to the capital, as well as Gatwick Airport, the country's second busiest international airport and a key gateway to the United Kingdom.
