I thought the mysterious DOO flu was only affecting SN, not TL crew?

The service is running - currently 4 minutes late. Don't know if the class
700 rolling stock turned up.

Thameslink services (which are all DOO) seem to be more reliable than
Southern, and should not be affected by the conductor's strike tomorrow.

The RMT never let a good excuse for a strike or work to rule go by. No doubt
they'll find something about the 700s they don't like at some point.

Wow, they've just crept in under the wire because the most recent
deadline was "end of Spring".

I heard mid-May was the original date for maiden voyage.

I think Roland was pointing out that Midsummer Day might just count as "end

They also said we'd start having Electrostars to Kings Lynn in Q2, only
