Thameslink has reinstated several night-time services which will serve St Albans and Harpenden.
On Monday, a dozen trains were reinstated after being temporarily removed from the timetable in July.
Thameslink’s passenger services director Stuart Cheshire said: “These 12 services will benefit people travelling home late at night towards Bedford or Brighton, and also people arriving or departing on early morning flights at Luton and Gatwick airports.
“Thanks are due to the hard-working teams from Thameslink and Network Rail who made this happen successfully.
“Subject to industry approval we will be making further improvements in May this year, with a focus on the route between Cambridge and Brighton.”
