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 state of the UK economy, this is VERY good.
