Default The beginnings of Thameslink (was: ECML demise)

Part of the business case for City Thameslink, and going under rather
than over Ludgate Hill was the value paid to BR for unlocking land for
development.

But people were also very happy not to have a railway bridge spoiling
the view of St Pauls.
