Whither Thameslink to Cambridge?

(all still happily in the right places for conflict-free operation between the flyover at Ally Pally and the pair of diveunders at Finsbury Park, I might add). That's correct, however they are treated as two separate (but related) projects by NR, and each direction can stand alone - and I think one direction may have had a higher priority initially. However according to the most up to date enhancements plan they both now have the same start and *completion dates, ie Jan 2012 - Dec 2013... Paul S I actually meant the up upgraded line is on the east side not west side, but forgot that the down goods (on west side) was being upgraded too. So that would mean Moorgate/Hertford Loop services would be conflict-free of ECML USL and DSL and WGC services on both up & down between F Pk and Alexandra P. However I think there would likely to be movements from UFL at P Pk for FCC outers to stop USL rather than UFL platform thus providing more UFL capacity, then some ex-WGC trains may use the ex-goods new Hertford platform.
