The core (St Pancras to Blackfriars) of Thameslink is in meltdown this morning, with all power switched off between all these stations.
Trains north of the capital are terminating and starting at St Pancras or Finsbury Park; trains South of the river are starting and terminating at East Croydon.
Is there any other piece of railway infrastructure in a major city (single lines, different types of power, so critical to the running of the timetable) which is so vulnerable to something going wrong in that section which would result in mass cancellations for hours on end?
