The most significant parts of it don't happen until 2012-15
(rebuilding London Bridge and adding flyovers on its approaches,
wiring up the ECML connection, and replacing the whole fleet), so
you'd probably want to call it Thameslink 2015*.

(* unless you're in the camp who thinks the second phase won't
happen,
which I've been pondering joining)

Thameslink 2015 it is, then I won't believe it's finished until
I can get a through train from Cambridge to Gatwick - one of the
original attractions of the scheme for me.

Indeed, for me too. Will they be running them?

And what tickets can I get this week for Cambridge-London Zones 1-2, then
Clapham Jcn-Gatwick Airport, return via Thameslink St Pancras/King's
Cross? I'm assuming Saver Return Cambridge-Zones 1/2, Saver Return London
Terminals-Gatwick (not Gatwick Express).
