Just been to a meeting in London Bridge, for which I was 30 mins late
due to Thameslink Programme-related amusement.

Went to Farringdon to catch the 1029 to Brighton, which was initially
reported as 2 mins late, then eventually turned up at 1035. To my mild
surprise, it was a Southern-liveried 377/2 - didn't get the unit
number.

In some ways I'm annoyed I was late; in some ways I'm pleased to have
been on one of the first public service 377s on the route; in some
ways I'm glad that they're testing them in public service before next
Monday; and in other ways I'm rather worried that things are going to
go seriously titsup on Monday morning.

I have to take a train from King's Cross on Tuesday morning, and am
looking forward to taking a train from my house near Crofton Park all
the way there. I'm just hoping that the generally very reliable
service we currently enjoy from Crofton Park to Blackfriars won't be
compromised by the through London operation...
