A new train of thought

#anewtrainofthought

Share your story

1 in 4 people in England will experience a mental health problem each year 

In support of Mind and World Mental Health Day, at Blackfriars station throughout October, we want you to sit and share your story using #anewtrainofthought on TikTok and Instagram.  

Mind is fighting for a future where the 1 in 4 of us can access quality mental health support. That's why we've partnered up with Mind and Anna Williamson to encourage open conversations about mental health #anewtrainofthought.

Working with Mind

At Thameslink Railway, we believe good mental health should be part of everyone’s journey. That’s why we’re proud to team up with Mind, the UK’s leading mental health charity, for a three-year partnership. 

We know that one in four of us will experience a mental health problem this year, and we’re committed to take action for our people, our passengers and our communities. 

Together, we’re raising awareness and smashing stigma.  

And making sure no one faces mental health problems alone.

Why it matters

Rail travel connects people, but so many travel feeling isolated, overwhelmed or unsure where to turn. Mental health affects every journey, whether you’re heading to work, visiting family or simply moving through the day.

Together with Mind, we’re helping to make the railway a place where people feel seen, supported and safe.

What we're doing

We’re giving every employee the tools they need to spot the signs of poor mental health and offer real help. So, whether you’re boarding a train or working behind the scenes, someone will always be ready to listen.

Spreading the word

Through campaigns across our stations, trains and digital channels, we’re helping raise awareness around mental health. Because when people know where to turn, they’re more likely to get the help they need.
