Default Thameslink programme to go ahead "in it's entirety"

The IEP can solve the white space issue on the ECML fast tracks (ie the
ex Cambridge Cruisers), but there's also the stoppers - who can live in
their own space on the slow tracks and flow through Thameslink rather
than terminating at Kings Cross.


Except that there are no slow lines for a few miles north of Welwyn.


There are a certain number of paths through Welwyn, increasing the top
speed of 2tph from 100mph to 125mph isn't going to change that. What's
the track speed there, anyway?
