Right. It was renamed "The Thameslink Programme" once the delays got
so long that the 2000 name was just too emabarassingly silly.

"Thameslink 2018" doesn't have quite the same ring to it. ;-)

So basically, we are today celebrating that Thameslink 2000 is only
delayed a further two years (now making it 18 years late) rather than
actually being cancelled :-/

Given the appalling state in which labour left the public finances, I
think we are very lucky indeed that Thameslink is going ahead.

So yes, we are celebrating. ;-)
