In an odd piece of scheduling, northbound Thameslink trains that have passed through the Core are displayed as stopping at Finsbury park, Stevenage, Hitchin and all station to Cambridge. At Finsbury park an odd thing happens. The Platform display adds Alexandra Palace to the list and the train does indeed stop at Alexandra Palace (two stops further on from FPK). If, for example, a passenger at Blackfriars, Faringdon,or St Pancras wishes to get to Alexandra Palace, they will expect to get off their Thameslink train at FPK on Platform 7 and cross to a Hertford loop or a Welwyn Garden City train on platform 8, but, with this piece of scheduling they should stay on their train. I've noticed this applying to several Cambridge trains. Odd.
