Default Class 465s to Farringdon?

Anyone know why the Southeastern DC only class 465s sometimes
continue on to City Thameslink in the rush hour but not all the way to
Farringdon? Wouldn't it be more useful to commuters if they terminated
at the latter to hook up with the tube? Or would it operationally be
too
awkward to have them reverse there?

At City Thameslink they can run into Smithfield Sidings to reverse. At
Farringdon they'd block not only following FCC trains from the south, but
also FCC trains out of Moorgate.


True, hadn't thought about moorgate. Though when (if) thameslink 2000
ever comes about and the moorgate branch closes perhaps it might
happen.
It would certainly be a big bonus for people who use the southeastern
routes
into Blackfriars.
