There's been a massive flurry of Tweets from Thameslink about their new
trains today. Still not completely clear whether or not there are
(m)any in passenger service though. Did a trip from Blackfriars to
SPILL to see if any were in evidence, but none were.

They had a scheduled launch event today at Blackfriars.

Launch of what, though? Running some of the trains in service from
now onwards; just running one today in service; or not actually
running any at all in service yet?

Press preview, the Roger Ford "Fist of Quality", etc. I didn't see any
announcement about entry into passenger service.

I wonder if the seats will continue the current tradition in new trains of
being as comfortable as sitting on a block of upholstered concrete.
