What I haven't got my head round is the exact reasoning behind the
South London Line being chucked out of London Bridge. I guess it
occupies a valuable platform, which is space that is much needed. I'm
unclear as to whether this space is needed permanently for Thameslink
'2000' or whether it is just needed for the duration of construction
works... I thought it was the latter, but perhaps it's the former.

The rebuilt London bridge will have fewer terminal platforms in favour
of more through platforms.

I presumed it would be something like that - indeed if I'd just read
your website's entry on the Thameslink Programme...

....I'd have known that the London Bridge redevelopment masterplan
"involves increasing the number of through platforms from 6 to 9, and
decreasing the number of terminating platforms from 9 to 6."
