Meanwhile I have sussed out how the 1300 vehicles for Thameslink
have turned into 1100. Apparently further work since the LSP was
published shows that 1300 was over the top and 1100 will now do the
job.


Doesn't that make some heroic assumptions that "they" know what the
job is? Lynn to Eastbourne requires more stock than Lynn to East
Croydon or Gatwick, surely?


I believe there is enough evidence in the public domain to strike
both Kings Lynn and Eastbourne from the route, namely the recent
discovery of Kings Lynn in the IEP programme, and the dissapearance
of places like Eastbourne and Littlehampton from the Thameslink
final route maps in the more recent South London RUS...


IEPs on the Cambridge fasts then?
