I can't help thinking that closing the moorgate spur
is a hopelessly short sighted decision. Huge numbers
of people use thameslink to travel into the city in the
rush hour and if they all have to pile onto the circle line
at farringdon into already overcrowded trains its going to
be chaos. If they want to make the trains longer why not
just delegate some carriages at the end that won't open
their doors at the shorter farringdon platforms? Works
elsewhere in the world. Or would the bedwetters in the
HSE & HMRI have to reach for the smelling salts?

The "2000" in Thameslink 2000 represents the number of times this has
been
suggested on Usenet.

Thank you for that helpful reply. Perhaps some of us have work to do
and
don't have the time to read back a couple of years worth of posts.
