Oh dear! Will keeping West Hampstead mean that long-distance services continue routinely to shudder to a stand to let Thameslink units make a fast/slow crossing, or spend miles at a reduced speed for the commuter trains? (Too many memories of the time when the Master Cutler and one other service were just about the only trains running non-stop between London and Leicester. In the up direction I often used an up service that reguarly had a fast and clear run from Leicester to Watling Street, where it was stopped for a Thameslink unit and ended up a couple of minutes late into St Pancras.)
