The current (2011) plans for Thameslink services seem to be:-

Brighton - Bedford: 4 trains per hour;
Three Bridges - Peterborough: 2 trains per hour;
Horsham - Cambridge: 2 trains per hour;
East Grinstead - Bedford: 2 trains per peak hour;
Caterham - St Albans: 2 trains per hour;
Tattenham Corner - Welwyn Garden City: 2 trains per hour;
Tunbridge Wells - Bedford: 2 trains per peak hour;
Ashford International - Luton: 2 trains per peak hour;
Maidstone East - Welwyn Garden City: 2 trains per hour;
Sevenoaks - Luton: 2 trains per hour;
Bellingham - St Albans: 2 trains per hour.

I'm going to move to Welwyn Garden City so it's easy for me to get to the Derby.

It's still a walk. Unlike a change of trains at Peterborough.

Really? The new Kings Cross entrance is directly opposite St Pancras, so no real walk.

Also guaranteed a seat as a rule, if you get on at Kings Cross, less likely at Peterborough.

Doesn't particularly affect me, but 4 years ??!?

We built a stadium in a field from scratch in just under 2. UNbelievable.

You make it sound like building from scratch is harder, but that's exactly the reason it's taking so long isn't it? The challenge is to effectively rebuild one of the busiest stations in the country whilst maintaining an (almost) fully operational station at the same time.

They've done a lot already, with all the work for the Shard, the hotel and the whole Taxi/Bus stop area -in fact it's difficult to remember what it used to be like. I guess it's time for the rail infrastructure.

Fair point, but 4 years still sounds excessive. The Japanese would have it done and dusted within six weeks.

Although this work will seriously affect commuters who hardly receive a decent service now they will still have annual increases above the cost of living
