Visible signs of Thameslink 2000
"Roland Perry" wrote in message ... In message , at 11:42:40 on Mon, 20 Oct 2008, Paul Scott remarked: I won't believe it's finished until I can get a through train from Cambridge to Gatwick - one of the original attractions of the scheme for me. Not a total pessimist then, they won't believe it's finished until they can get from Littlehampton to Kings Lynn... Without changing trains? One of the enigmas about the plans are that there are just three routes north of London, but twelve to the south (including four 'beyond' Gatwick). http://www.networkrailmediacentre.co...DetailsID=1195 Just having a dig at the amount of stale information about. The linked map shows early ideas extracted from all the planning documentation, but as captioned, that map is only 'indicative'. The difference south of the river is that an hourly Thameslink service at say Guildford is just an add on to other intensive services, it's a bit different on the northern network, as you say the 3 to 12 is quite noticeable. As regularly discussed here though, the current South London RUS no longer shows the south west parts of the network, eg Littlehampton and Guildford. The Wimbledon loop is also to be turned into a Blackfriars - London Bridge service. This is to avoid too many fast/slow flat crossing moves south of Blackfriars. It is about time NR brought their Thameslink site more up to date... Paul |
