Promise of 24 Thameslink trains running through central London each
hour will not be fulfilled until another £900m of work is carried out

"Network Rail, whose engineering budget for the project overran
by 10% to £5.5bn, now says another £900m of work must be carried
out on the wider network around the core Thameslink route to
ensure a reliable service."

Is there no limit to the number of "surprises" lurking out there for
Network Rail to trip over?

They've only been planning this project for, what, the whole of their
corporate life.
