  1. Thameslink to Woolwich ( & beyond )
    Time to bite the bullet & go (back) to a higher frequency on the Sutton Loop & terminate at Blackfriars

  2. The South Eastern Railway Works at Ashford have not been built on – the Carriage sidings are the Dune Outlet Mall mostly a Car Park.
    Is the UK going to participate in a European High Speed network, if so a depot would be desirable. Virgin Trains have not been a committed operator for many years.
    Trenitalia London trains being maintained in Milan is a stretch.

    Appreciate the way the industry is facilitating group access to vloggers like a traditional open day. Maintains the enthusiasts interest.
    Surprised at Heathrow joining in – was that meant to be a pastiche of PhilomenaCunk? Guess they got their surface access ambitions in at the end.
