The 1124 from Cambridge cancelled today. Will start from FPK at 1206. Not sure what the problem was/is.

Now on a 387 doing an extra stop at FPK so we can still pick it up.

Cambridge screens also shows some weird info. Reminds me of when King's Cross showed trains going on to the sidings at Letchworth.

I assume 'STPXBOX' and 'LNDNBDE' are data formatting errors

The service starting from FPK was due to run at 1209, not 1206. Actually left at 1215 and still arrived in canal tunnel early enough that we had to wait for our path!

Got from Blackfriars to London Bridge really quick then it waited there, such that I jumped on a return working to Stevenage and when I got off and had something to eat, the Horsham train arrived with loads of people on the platform throughly confused by seeing St Pancras and a whole load of 'new' destinations!

Seemed for a while like the TL trains through the core were running all the time!

That screen is a mess isn’t it. Even the train operating company is wrong.

They are pathed in RealTimeTrains etc as Great Northern north of Blackfriars. Musn't be an available 'Thameslink' service code usable on the ECML yet, or something.

They show and are announced as Thameslink at Great Northern stations, appears Greater Anglia and VTEC at Peterborough haven't updated theirs though.
