of thing in mind. If Victoria and luggage implies Gatwick, for example,
you can usually construct much more manageable journeys via Thameslink.

The thameslink route goes right around the houses and in the few times I've
used it always seems to get stuck around london bridge. Its much slower than a
Southern service from victoria.

Often wondered why the original Thameslink route had to be Bedford to
Brighton. It has so many conflicting junctions and difficult paths.
I realise these are now being resolved and Thameslink is so much more.

But, would not a better start have been: Bedford, KX Thameslink,
Blackfriars, Herne Hill, and on to South Eastern destinations? I
guess Herne Hill would have become a real pinch point.
