Meanwhile I have sussed out how the 1300 vehicles for Thameslink have
turned into 1100. Apparently further work since the LSP was
published shows that 1300 was over the top and 1100 will now do the
job.

Doesn't that make some heroic assumptions that "they" know what the
job is? Lynn to Eastbourne requires more stock than Lynn to East
Croydon or Gatwick, surely?

I believe there is enough evidence in the public domain to strike both Kings
Lynn and Eastbourne from the route, namely the recent discovery of Kings
Lynn in the IEP programme, and the dissapearance of places like Eastbourne
and Littlehampton from the Thameslink final route maps in the more recent
South London RUS...
