But I think the 12 southern branches on Thameslink is a mistake, and
will cause so many people to wait around on the Zone 1 southbound
platforms for up to half an hour for their train home that the stations
will be regularly closed for crowding. This will be resolved about 6
months after the project opens by ditching about half of the southern
branches and running the other ones quarter-hourly.

When you say "ditching", do you mean no trains at all to somewhere like
Tattenham Corner? Which six branches would you keep (Sutton x 2 and
Brighton seem no-brainers, so what are the other three)?

How many of the twelve go in parallel to East Croydon, or Gatwick...
