This would mean that the introduction of through services would result
in dramatically more people having to change at London Bridge, which
isn't very healthy and safe at the best of times.

Fixed peak service patterns, with everything from certain routes going
to the same terminus, have been suggested and rejected before.

I don't think the City types who currently tuck themselves into a seat
at Cannon Street will be keen on changing to an already full train at
London Bridge, so there will probably be some lobbying to prevent this
happening.

A fair number of these City types would just go to City Thameslink or
Blackfriars instead - i.e. they wouldn't *have* to change at London Bridge,
and there is even a chance they would be commuting to a station closer to
their office than Cannon St.
