Hello folks,
Just having a discussion with my family about the rail network and I’m almost certain people here will know more about this than me. I commute into London from Peterborough on Thameslink services. I pay 4.5k for my season ticket. I have family in Leicester and would very much like to move closer to them, but because the commuter options are so much better on the East Coast line, if I did move to Leicester I would be adding on an additional 6k to my season ticket - horribly unaffordable! So my question is a follows - Leicester and Peterborough are fairly equidistant to London, so what is the likelihood of Leicester being absorbed into the Thameslink commuter zone in the non too distant future and what logistical issues would affect such an extension from happening? Cheers!
