Which reminds me, in the more general sense, what plans might there be for
MML capacity improvement in the medium term.


The best chance for capacity improvement in the medium term (which I
would say was 5-10 years) would be extending the electrification of FCC
in stages, eventually all the way to Leicester, and run maybe an
additional 2tph of the formerly Bedford-terminating trains through the
Thameslink2015 tunnels. And this might require a slight re-balancing of
Leicester/Bedford versus Cambridge/KingsLynn and Peterborough trains
according to the demand on those lines.
