    Thameslink new stock order cancelled?

    If they cancel the order for the new stock, they may aswell cancel the whole Thameslink infrastructure program to link up the TL and GN routes, as there will be nowhere near enough dual-voltage stock to operate services on the routes when they are joined through the bores at St. Pancras...
