[edit] Thameslink 2000 (sorry Thameslink Programme)
Someone - ideally someone who knows more about it than me - should say something about the major building works that are going to happen with the 'Thameslink' expansion works due to start in a couple of years. As I understand it, the South Eastern service will be diverted elsewhere while the main 'Thameslink' platforms are extended across the river to allow 12 carriages to be used on the route.

- Ahh yes. Having done some reading on the topic in the past its somewhat confusing. I've copied some text in from the thameslink article. Pickle 08:32, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

- That was quick! I was in the process of adding two lines and the link to the main Thameslink Programme article when you did that - thanks. Lovingboth 08:40, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
Almost entirely off-topic, but the combination of this and the December 2007 closure of the East London Line for about three years is going to make travel from my bit of SE London much more difficult for two years. I'm not sure that there's been an announcement about what's going to happen to the South Eastern service, for example... diverted to Victoria? terminated at Elephant and Castle??

- Nothing has been decided yet, but to the best of my knowledge most of the SER trains to/from Blackfriars will be operated in partnership with First Capital Connect and sent straight through the Thameslink tunnels (so they will still call at Blackfriars); a handful in the evening peak may well be diverted to Victoria. The new service patterns will be implemented this December. Edvid (talk) 15:02, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Edit Reversion
An editor who had not logged in added a paragraph referring to a non-exitant Central Express Brighton to Newcastle service. I have reverted the edit Wilmot1 (talk) 17:13, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
