INTRODUCTION:
No major change to any timings apart from the Sunday departure from Brighton which left 2 hours earlier and now ran to Edinburgh rather than Glasgow and arrived nearly 3 hours earlier.
The summer Saturday diversion to and from Eastbourne didn't run from 1997 with both trains running to and from Brighton.
The summer Saturday Birmingham to Ramsgate service ran again for a four week season.
The Summer 1997 timetable also saw Connex Southcentral start a hourly service between Gatwick and Rugby via Kensington Olympia. These used the 319/0 units transfered to them on Privitisation. Combined with the Silverlink Clapham Jct to Willesden Jct service this gave Olympia three trains an hour in each direction, unheard of just a few years earlier. There was a regular Sunday service to Olympia for the first time in many years.
