(OT) A waste of money though - surely Thameslink still exists as the

It does... but it's far less prominent now. The trains don't have it
written on them any more and announcements etc. don't mention it. Besides
which, once the Thameslink work is all finished, the thameslink route
could mean trains to any number of destinations rather then the fairly
simple route it refers to at the moment.

All of which will pass through Farringdon, though. And vice versa, every
train which passes through Farringdon will be on the Thameslink route.

Unless the plan is to rebrand (debrand?) things so that the new routes
won't be called Thameslink?

Crossrail 1 sounds good to me... g

Crossrail 0!
