The SL RUS has led to what appears to be a more compact Thameslink network

I suspect the 'public' shortening of the routes north of the Thames can only
be a matter of time


And somehting I think is for the better - the core TL route through
central London is too valuable a part of underground / overground /
tube / metro / whatever-you-wish-to-call-it to be anything else than a
high capacity all trains stopp all stations section.

I'm not against RER type systems but London needs a new north-south
route with unrestricted double deck loading gauge not a twiddling of
an existing route that is gauge limited in the middle and access
constrained [even after the works] at both throats of the core
section.
