Could you please post the exact link ? I got lost in the Southwark

website
and a search for "Thameslink" produced nothing !!
Thanx.
Baz

I went to their online website for planning applications
http://194.168.41.26/cgi-bin/acolnetcgi.exe and searched by date
received, after a struggle I found a series of applications on 25/06/04
- if you search for that date you can find the details.
