Are you sure you mean Blackfriars?

Yes. Theres a 3 track chord linking the line from blackfriars to the
charing-x line. Look on google earth.

Presumably you mean the (currently unused) link from Blackfriars to London
Bridge, which used to share the tracks from Charing X to London Bridge?

Yup. Just wondering what it was/is used for.

Of course it's the main Thameslink line. Surely even you must know that?

Or perhaps you've yet to hear about the little modification project at
London Bridge?

I've never used thameslink south of the river so I have no idea of its route
other than it runs to brighton.

Or perhaps you've yet to hear about the little modification project at
London Bridge?

So presumably there's currently no thameslink service to london bridge and
hasn't been for quite some time.

Not to/from the north. There are "Thameslink" trains between Brighton
and London Bridge.

Ah ok. I realise there's been a bit of chaos at london bridge but isn't that
just down to platforms or did they close some through lines too? If not why
couldn't thameslink continue to run through london bridge without stopping?
