"One issue still being debated is whether to grade separate Metropolitan
Junction, where FCC services now leave Southeastern's intensively used
LB - Waterloo line for Blackfriars."

I would have thought this problem [of Thameslink & SE services crossing]
had been completely designed out by moving the crossing point to the
diveunders east of London Bridge, and then having dedicated pairs of
tracks westward of London Bridge for both the Blackfriars and Charing
Cross routes.

Since Blackfriars is going to be closed for a considerable length of time,
almost three years, will LUL put up partitions at the platform edges and
allow trains to run through there at speed? What would it take to reset the
start signals to normal waysides, since now they are in essence draw ups.

Also when from where is the last Thameslink train on the Moorgate Branch due
to depart on 22 March?
