Blackfriars - SET services after December 2008
wrote in message ... "Mr Thant" wrote in message ... It wouldn't be very useful. The interim arrangement is more about having somewhere to send the peak services from the north with the Moorgate branch gone. There's not really anywhere to terminate them, so running them through as services to Kent (replacing the SET Blackfriars services) is the only real option. U What exactly is happening with the Moorgate branch? Permanent closure of the NR lines between Farringdon and Moorgate, primarily so that the NR platforms at Farringdon can be extended southwards over the existing junction for 12 car Thameslink trains. Secondly, the 24 tph throughput planned for the central section could not operate across the flat junction anyway, even if there was an alternative way of extending the platforms - they can't extend to the north because of the diveunder to get to the other side of the LU tracks.
