line is reliable from day one. If not then TfL will be paying out a lot
of cash to FCC and Southern for delays to services between Central
London and Croydon.

More likely the other way around. FCC couldn't run the proverbial
****-up in a brewery without the beer being delayed going by what
they've done to Thameslink and WAGN.


The new ELLX trains will travel on the slow lines between Croydon and
New Cross Gate, and I believe they will _not_ need to cross the path of
the fast lines whatsoever - and it is the fast lines which the FCC
Thameslink trains take. That still leaves the possibility for the ELLX
to bog up Southern's services on the slow lines of course.
