"There is good news for commuters travelling out of Brighton station as the
first Class 700 Thameslink service makes its maiden journey.
The 10:02am departure from the city to London Bridge on Monday (June 20th)
will allow passengers to get a first glimpse of the future of train travel
between Brighton and Bedford."


Assuming the train crew turn up, from what I read.


I thought the mysterious DOO flu was only affecting SN, not TL crew?

I was at Gatwick yesterday and both services seemed to be similarly
afflicted.

What was bizarre was when the 18:33 Thameslink service finally staggered
into view it was Southern stock which kept entirely silent all the way
to London Bridge leaving me pondering what it really was and where I was
going to end up (the platform indicators at Gatwick seemed a little
indecisive to say the least)
