Visible signs of Thameslink 2000

you'd probably want to call it Thameslink 2015*. (* unless you're in the camp who thinks the second phase won't happen, which I've been pondering joining) Thameslink 2015 it is, then I won't believe it's finished until I can get a through train from Cambridge to Gatwick - one of the original I am now of the opinion you won't. Even though they completed the tunnelling into SPILL I have alwys been sceptical about connecting up GN to it. They are going to all this trouble of re-arranging appoaches to Blackfriars and south/east thereof to avoid as far as possible conflicting moves to make 24 TPH in the core work, and then build a new junction across which every move will conflict right *in* the core ?!?!?!? IMHO as a practical connection the GN was lost when the re-jigged SPILL from being a 4 platform station under KX/SP of pre-Eusostar days to 2-platforms under-SPILL box. With 4 platforms you could dovetail / hold / alternate / regulate around junction, with 2 platforms you cannot. -- Nick |
