	Rail Authority steps in to solve Thameslink 2000 problems (Pub-friendly) [The Rockall Times]
		SRA chairman Richard Bowker was said to have been heavily concerned with the problems that have plagued the planned upgrade to one of Britain's busiest rail services.
		Thameslink trains currently run from Bedford north of London to Brighton on the south coast, but have been hugely overcrowded for more than a decade due to the large numbers of inconsiderate people wanting to use the service.
		The original intent was for the work to have started in 1989 and to be finished by 2000 — a fact later revealed in the name for the project, Thameslink 2000.

	Thameslink 2000
		Thameslink 2000 is the name given to the proposals for the upgrading of the present Thameslink system which crosses London from North to South.
		If Thameslink 2000 is built the number of trains which can cross London will increase from the present 8 an hour to a maximum of 24 trains per hour in the peak periods.
		The support received for Thameslink 2000 to date helps to confirm that the expansion of the Thameslink network is the most preferable solution for providing improved rail services into and across London.

	alwaystouchout.com - Thameslink Programme (Thameslink 2000)
		Thameslink was an inspired plan to reinstate passenger services to a route which had fallen into neglect and had not carried passengers since 1916.
		Since improving Thameslink involves a signalling upgrade, closures of the central section would probably be commonplace at weekends as they were for the first phase of construction of the new St Pancras Thameslink station.
		Thameslink 2000 was not mentioned at all in Tuesday's white paper by the Department for Transport, "The Future of Transport" - leading to fears that it may fall by the wayside whilst the £10bn Crossrail project is taken forward.

		Thameslink 2000 envisages new through services using Snow Hill tunnel northwards to Peterborough, Cambridge and Kings Lynn, and south of the Thames, to Guildford, Eastbourne, Ashford and Dartford, increasing the number of stations Thameslink serves from 50 to 169.
		Thameslink was also chosen for trials of the Train Protection and Warning System (TPWS), which stops trains which are travelling too fast or pass red signals.

	BBC - h2g2 - The Thameslink Rail Service, UK
		Thameslink is a mainline railway service which runs from the very south of England to Bedford via central London, stopping at Gatwick and Luton airports on the way.
		When Thameslink was first opened, trains would pass from Streatham to Sutton via West Croydon and then carry on to Guildford, but this line became superfluous due to its closeness to the Brighton branch and the presence of other commuter lines to the Guildford area.
		Meanwhile, King's Cross Thameslink is linked to the deep-level Underground lines by a long tunnel, and the station at Kentish Town has an entrance from the Northern line ticket hall.

	Thameslink "a tragedy for the Borough" says MP [18 October 2006]
		A key element of the scheme - formerly known as Thameslink 2000 - is the expansion of capacity on the western approach to London Bridge station, a notorious rail bottleneck.
		Residents and businesses in Borough Market have long campaigned against the Thameslink scheme because of the impact it would have on the historic character of the area.
		The detail of the Thameslink project around Borough Market and Blackfriars - where the scheme proposes to extend the station right across the river with an entrance on Bankside - was the subject of a public inquiry last year where campaigners proposed that the line should be re-routed via Elephant and Castle.

		Transport Secretary Alistair Darling has today announced the decision to fit out the new Thameslink station at King's Cross St Pancras, which should be ready to take its first passengers at the end of 2007.
		The first phase of the station construction was completed in May 2005, when an eight-month blockade of the line allowed the construction of a station "box" under the new St Pancras station site.
		First Group will run the new franchise and there is provision in the franchise for an effective transfer to the Thameslink 2000 project if it is approved.

	Thameslink Upgrade Plans Derailed Again (from Hendon Times) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Fears have been voiced that the long-promised Thameslink 2000 upgrade may face the axe after a succession of major government transport announcements this week saw no mention of the troubled project.
		Thameslink 2000 would double the number of Thameslink trains running from central London to Hendon and Cricklewood, but it is already years overdue.
		Thameslink will be running a severely reduced service on Monday and Tuesday due to the commissioning of new track and signals in the King's Cross Tunnel.

		There is construction underway to make the Thameslink train go right to Kings X/St Pancras and should be finished soon (part of the huge redevelopment of the two adjoining mainline stations prepping for the arrival of Eurostar trains from Paris into kings X in 2007.
		Thameslink King's Cross is across Pentonville Road and a block east from King's Cross.
		Ben's suggestion comes from the fact that Kings Cross Thameslink can be exceptionally unfriendly for people with luggage, and the pavement (sidewalk in some dialects) on the street between the Thameslink and mainline stations is very narrow and congested.

		However, Transport Minister Stephen Ladyman stressed that this did not amount to a final go-ahead for the scheme as the Department for Transport was still considering the question of funding.
		Nevertheless, NR said today's Government announcement was "a landmark decision" for a project which will see more than a doubling of capacity on routes from north of London to south of the capital.
		Under discussion for years and the subject of a public inquiry, Thameslink 2000 will increase the number of stations used by direct north-south services by more than 200% from the present 51 to 172 and increase the possible length of trains from the present eight-carriage services to 12.

		Thameslink Rail later confirmed that not only had the 0740 been cancelled but that all trains that morning ran with heavy delays due to problems further up the line.
		Nor did the 0748 reach Kings Cross Thameslink in time for the men to have made the journey to Kings Cross Underground station to have been captured on CCTV “shortly before 8.30am” as the police stated.
		The quickest route from Thameslink to the tube lines is through an underground subway but the narrative does not specify their alleged route from King's Cross Thameslink station to the mainline station.
