Thameslink isn't new - the Thameslink Programme is a comprehensive
upgrade of the route, but it's not a new link.
The upgrade is also more than 15 years late.
I know very well that this route was created in Victorian times, was
unused 1912 - 1985 (hard to believe, but true!) and has been piecemeal
enlarged since then, but the increase in capacity amounts to about as
important a step as Crossrail. Just done with less fuss
You have to be kidding! Northern section truncated at St Pancras for a
year (in the middle of all the rebuilding) and every weekend for even
more years.
and trumpet blowing.
I think they are a bit ashamed of being 15years late.
Let us hope the finished project is all for which we hope. Is the
underpass beyond London Bridge going ahead?
