Often discussed here, but now something concrete in the London & SE RUS
final version - some north/south origin/destination pairings of Thameslink
services.
Source is table 5.2 in the RUS, which gives more info about routes and
stopping patterns, each pairing is 2 tph; except Brighton - Bedford which
is 4tph:
18 tph through London Bridge
Brighton - Bedford 12-car (4 tph)
Three Bridges - Peterborough 12-car
Horsham - Cambridge 12-car
And so it looks like we will get a Cambridge-Gatwick train one day (rather
than those trains inheriting the earlier route of Kings Lynn to
Sevenoaks).
It would be nice if they could run a couple of the Brighton services to/from
the ECML instead of Bedford. A direct service between Brighton and Cambrdge
feels like it might actually be useful to a number of people.
