Thameslink announces sudden re-opening of Widened Lines to Moorgate but not really

[jeremyjh]

Spotted in this morning's disruption (mis)information relating to a train fault breaking Thameslink for the morning commute, some good news for fans of unexpected diversions via Barbican. Reminded me of this abandoned stations page.

Lines reopened: Disruption through Farringdon expected until 11:00 // All lines have reopened following a fault on a train at Farringdon. Trains running between London St Pancras International and Moorgate may still be cancelled, delayed by 45 minutes or revised. This is expected to continue until 11:00.

All of them are cancelled lol. The Moorgate branch is blocked off after the platform extensions at Farringdon.

Maybe they're confused as they're still called the Moorgate Lines

My heart jumped for a second!

Reopening a line is quite an achievement for a lowly social media rep. So glad to hear there's an active staff comments system!

They should have let a Thameslink train go back to Moorgate the same day that the Jubilee Line train went back to Charing Cross

Sadly only the latter is still physically possible!
