What they said:
5.13.6 Following the completion of the Thameslink
Programme the following morning peak train service
(14 trains per hour) is anticipated as remaining in
operation into London King's Cross:
Cambridge stopping services, via WGC
- two x eight-car trains operated by Class 377
stock (maximum acceleration is particularly
important on this service group, given the
need for calls at Welwyn North)
Peterborough fast services
- two x 12-car trains operated by Class 365
stock
[The other 10 services are 2 x Kings Lynn IEP and 8 x long distance.]
So what, if any, Cambridge peak trains will go to Horsham?
The two mentioned in the OP that are going through to Horsham via the yet to
open ECML link to St Pancras LL. Those above are going to Kings Cross - ie
the mainline station. What's so difficult about all this?
It seems to me that make 6 trains altogether:
2 x Thameslink, 12 car T/L stock,
2 x Kings Cross 'IEPs' from Kings Lynn via Cambridge,
2 x Kings Cross 'stoppers' from Cambridge.
How that relates to today's service I'll leave to others, but surely the
whole point is that there doesn't need to be a one to one relationship
between what trains happen to run today and what happens in 2018?
