Default Thameslink and LUL changes in King's Cross

According to Live Departure Boards it left KX Thameslink at 01:17. I
suspect it left at 01:18 and it was certainly running 10 minutes late at
the next two reports and 11 late at Hendon as I write (and has been much
the same since Redhill).


I took it from London Bridge to KX, and that's about right. It was the
unit they've named King's Cross Thameslink, so the first one tomorrow
will presumably be StPI.

Anyway, the FCC countdown stopped at 01:13. We still don't know why they
chose that time.


It was timetabled to leave at 1:12 (loads of people get on there), so
possibly a web monkey screwed up by one minute. The alternative theory
is that it was meant to be station closing time, 5 minutes after the
last train arrives.
