Does anyone know if anything will be happening on this date at that
station?

(A) What date? We don't have 28 months in a year..... (sorry, but doing
day-month-year is not only counter-intuitive, it's also American!)

(B) I assume trains will be running to-from it as usual, although not
Thameslink ones.

30th Anniversary of the 1975 Moorgate train crash?

*shrug*

I tend to use either MMDDYYYY or YYYYMMDD.

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

Why should anything be happening?

Because it is the 30-year anniversary of the worst train disaster on
the Underground to date?

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

So what, why is there this fascination with commemorating every incident
than occurs where someone dies? How about commemorating Quitinshill,
Abermule, Harrow and the other incidents that have occured. We could also
add Staines, Lckerbie and various other such incidents. What leads you to
suppose that the relatives and those involved as either as surviving
passengers or emergency services personnel want to be reminded?

The "memorial", if you want one, is in daily use all over the system. It's
know as "Moorgate Control".

Language is there to enable us to communicate.

No only does MMDDYYYY as a date format make no sense at all but, as it
is used in only a relatively small area, using it anywhere else hinders
rather than helps communication.

Also look at the group title.

*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.
