The other question is what happens to the imbalance in services during
the peak. At present there are more Moorgate terminators than there
are Blackfriars terminators, so where are the 'extras' from the north
going to go?


There is a new turnback siding currently being installed at Herne Hill
especially for Thameslink Key Output 0.


Aha, now that's what that's for, all now becomes clear (ish).

Where will these trains from the north tip out then - Loughborough Jn,
Elephant, Blackfriars?
