Did Southeastern run class 465s to City Thameslink?

[Mike bello]

Just wondering if they terminated at the Smithfield sidlings

 

[Ianno87]

Yes, they did.

 

[Mike bello]

i wonder why they stopped them ?

 

[Ianno87]

When the wires were extended to City Thameslink - the Class 465 radio antennae foul the safe distance to the OLE.

That and lack of capacity once 24tph get introduced through the core.

Does anybody know specifically when the wires were extended to City Thameslink?
