I'm sure that clearance issues were very much on TfL's minds. Rightly so as
things are turning out with the 700s for Thameslink. Both initial trips
north of Hitchin, to Peterborough and Cambridge, came to grief with lost
shoes AIUI due to high ballast shoulders, in the Cambridge case at Foxton on
the return journey.

Why would Thameslink trains be sent up the ECML and cambridge line? Weren't
there enough free slots to test on the MML?

We should probably frame this one. Such a lovely demonstration of
ignorance.

Sorry if I have better things to do than keep up to date with the expansion of
every UK train service that I don't use.
