The expected advantage of TL2k is for people travelling between Cambridge

will.
The greater point of the exercise is to significantly increase the
number of trains into London Bridge from the south/southeast, and
likewise increase the number of ECML commuter services (especially 12-
car) that can be run, as well as to extend the existing services to 12
cars. Where any of these trains actually go is not terribly
important.
This is relevant because every train to Moorgate is one less to/
through London Bridge (unless you can find somewhere new to start them
from), undermining the purpose of the scheme.
