[edit] Drain
In April 2006 the Drain (Waterloo to Bank) is shutting for 5 months. I'm going to suggest that a service from Waterloo East to Cannon Street would make a handy substitute.
It could either be a dedicated shuttle, if possible using a turn-back option between Waterloo East and Charing Cross, or at peak hours running existing ECS and outbound trains from Charing Cross via Cannon Street, so that they skip a path around the Thameslink services. The reverse flow and possibly off-peak passengers would go via London Bridge, and in the evening peak the position would reverse - ECS and other services going in 'empty' to form peak hour trains from Charing Cross would run from or via Cannon Street with passengers to Waterloo East.
Could this work - I don't have a good knowledge of the WTT and track & signalling in the area to be absolutely certain of this.
