London bridge services are going to elephant and castle at the moment though how temporary that is I don't know. 319's on everything else though, ugh.

Metrication posted:Does anyone know why Thameslink trains spend so long at Blackfriars and other stations south of the river? The trains wait at Elephant and other places for minutes at a time before it gets moving again. I think Blackfriars is at least 5. I think there's the also the wait at Farringdon while they switch traction current from 3rd rail to overhead ac that can slow things up.

goddamnedtwisto posted:IIRC all the express services from London to the airports are sold as separate franchises from the lines they travel over. With the exception of Luton which is served only by GTR, and southend, served by Abellio. Though you can probably make arguments that those airports are barely in london, despite the nomenclature.

Bacon Terrorist posted:Arriva has no choice to honour the Government Invitation To Tender requirement of 50% trains Driver Only Operation, even if this court case against Merseyrail Conductor Martin Zee goes south and raises huge questions about TOC operating practices in general. Should be interesting. As someone who has only regularly used lines that are already DOO (Thameslink, overground and Great Northern), what is the reason for the opposition to DOO?

I was beginning to believe that travelling on great northern would start to return a person to a pre-fuedal era state of unbridled anarchy, but I didn't see bread-worship coming.
