    Thameslink/ Class 700 Progress

    Mill Hill actually has all 4 platforms full length - Think it was the first one they did before realising by only doing the slow platforms at some of the other stations it would reduce their costs significantly!

    Thameslink/ Class 700 Progress

    It's only Kentish town, cricklewood which has short platforms. Mill hill Broadway, Elstree, Radlett have been extended on the slows. Forgive me if i'm wrong, but i'm assuming that the stopping trains will all be RLU's (round the loop) and the semi-fasts will be FLU's (Which skip the short...

    Thameslink/ Class 700 Progress

    Why didn't they extend all the platforms? Presume it was to save money but as a user from Elstree, I seem to always to get on trains that are stopping on the fast lanes! Mill Hill broadway was extended on all platforms!

    Flooding at Farringdon

    I have a question. Why is thameslink (and FCC previously) so poor at giving out information during disruption? Why do the apps/live running boards contradict the actual train service? Its just so frustrating.
