The Thameslink Programme, originally Thameslink 2000, was a £6 billion project in south-east England to upgrade and expand the Thameslink rail network to provide new and longer trains between a wider range of stations to the north and to the south of London.

Work included platform lengthening, station remodelling, new railway infrastructure, and new rolling stock.
