I'm pleased about the closure because I'll eventually gain from it -
the increased frequency on Thameslink will mean Great Northern trains
are sent through the central section so combined with Crossrail I'll
be able to make a single change to get to work.

They could still have kept the new frequency even with moorgate. For every
southbound train to moorgate they could just have had a northbound from
Blackfriars reverse at City.
