But , as has been pointed out elsewhere, the maps on that site are out
of date, as is some of the info.

Post 12/2015 it seems to be everyone elses understanding that
Wimbledon / Sutton loop is being disconnected from Thameslink because
there is no 12car platform upgrade on those parts of the network. Yet
the TL-program web site still shows it included post 2015.

I have fired off a query to them about this ....... will report as and
when.


I thought it a little odd that the south of the river hasn't caught up with
the SL RUS too, but I guess they'll just say the RUS consultation isn't yet,
while denying the real reason is that they've just trotted out the same old
stuff as previously.

You would expect the Blackfriars terminating services to be transferred to
SN or SE as appropriate, as once they aren't cross river they aren't really
Thameslink. Similarly, what about the rump of the GN services that remain
disconnected. Isn't that the main reason that FCC dropped 'Thameslink' from
the franchise name, cos it was inappropriate for the GN to Moorgate route in
the combined franchise?
