This is incredible stuff. *Especially so when you consider that

Not to mention the use of ETCS SRS 2.3.0d which has a number of
outstanding open points. *And I don't think anyone has tried
overlaying ATO on ETCS. *I suspect that 24 trains/h will become a new
Key Output 3.
A further point is that, unless ETCS was operational over the whole
Thameslink Network, drivers would have to switch between two operating
philosophies.
But not a lot different to an inbound Eurostar arriving at Dollands
Moor out of the tunnel under TVM430 and suddenly adopting AWS and 4-
aspects. And vice versa outbound.
I shall await further questions from your good self at certain
technical meetings in the near future ;o)
BTW, when I quickly scanned the posts first time through I read SRS
2.3.0d as ETCS SR £2.0.3d ... now I know SR could be parsimonious at
times ...
Was that the development budget for the Class 319? :-P
