Especially poor given that it will double the amount of confusion at
Gatwick, and force more people onto the roads to get to the airport.
And it's not even OHL related.

The WCML is running (with disruption due to a tree at Bushey). Why
are we different from FCC north I wonder?

The Fen Line is all-cancelled (as are all Greater Anglia's services).
The only thing running in Cambs seems to be the XC
Stansted-Birmingham, which are being turned at Cambridge.

Thameslink-north would need a special timetable, as the trains are
running to/from south of the river (where again everything seems to
be cancelled), and presumably they don't have such a plan.

I suspect there are problems between Bedford and St Pancras. They won't have
a timetable for that.

EMT seem to be running a shuttle service from Bedford to the north on
the Midland Mainline, but without FCC to connect to, all will do is
create a lot of business for the buffet at Bedford. (The LM service
to Bletchley is running but that's an awful slow way to get to
London).

My daughter's 11:03 VT EUS-BHM got away 20 minutes late and was last
reported at Leighton Buzzard 34 late.
