Default Thameslink project (i.e. TL2K) gets legal & planning go-ahead

The Thameslink project now has all the legal powers to start
construction - it just needs someone to agree to pay for it! The
"Thameslink project" is the revised name Network Rail appear to use for
Thameslink 2000, though they've also used the term "Thameslink
Programme" in the past as well [1]. And the BBC uses the plain wrong
term of Thameslink 2012!


Hmmm. I recently obtained all legal powers necessary to purchase a
Ferrari. I just need to find the funds to pay for it.

Suspect that we'll need a few more rounds of "pay the consultants vast
quantities of public cash" before a decision can be made on funding.
