Last I checked, Thameslink doesn't serve Moorgate GN&C, WA does.

I think you'll find there were rush hour services until the blockade
started.


*cough*

I said Moorgate _GN&C_ - Greant Northern & City, the underground NR
platforms. The subsurface NR platforms were indeed served by
Thameslink, but were originally part of the Met.

The City/Metropolitan Widened Lines were never used by the Met/LT/LU as they
were built for the exclusive use of GN, Midland and other mainline companies
trains.

Would you believe I've been living down the road in South Kensington for
two-and-a-half years and I've still never been to Harrods...

Yes I would.

I've been tourist guiding in London pretty intensively for coming on for
seven years and have set foot in the place twice.
