At the GTR stakeholders forum today they announced that the Thameslink plan is being discussed with the DFT and there are planned changes.
Highlights were:-
4 trains per hour along the Catford loop - 2 to Sevenoaks and 2 to Orpington
Peak Maidstone East service to become all day and diverted by London Bridge
New service to Rainham via Abbey Wood and Greenwich
Tattenham Corner Service removed from Thameslink (due to concerns Windmill Bridge couldn't cope with number of Thameslink trains)
Wimbledon route will be all day to St Albans
South London Metro will also be changed. Trains from Caterham and Tattenham corner will all go to London Bridge (all 377/6 or 7 10 coach splitting at Purley - no 455's). Additionally there will be Caterham Trains via Tulse Hill to London Bridge
They put up a map but I couldn't write it all down. All subject to DfT permission but very likely to happen
