The Thameslink Programme is making serious progress. Blackfriars Tube station is now shut until late 2011 and the new timetable is in force that allows Network Rail to begin transforming Blackfriars and Farringdon stations.

The Thameslink Programme will transform the Thameslink route. This year 92 new air-conditioned Electrostar carriages will be added to the train fleet, reducing overcrowding in the rush hour. And in the long term there will be more capacity, more destinations, better stations, and - by the end of 2015 - a train through central London every 2-3 minutes.
