Anyway, nice train. An evolution, not a revolution. Comfortable seats and smells less like it's been through 20+ years of hauling Plymouth to Aberdeen.

Q: I have an off-peak return ticket with a long connection time. Can I leave the station (in search of a good coffee) and re-enter the ticket barriers?

Nice new Class 701 trains on #southwesternrailway now on the Reading - Waterloo services.
Shame about the deafening squeaking noises from in/under the carriages when moving. Changed to a different carriage but it's only a little better. Still, just an hour with what sounds worse than chalk on a blackboard for accompaniment.

@jon #Gemini have been in the UK press this week promoting a Stratford-Ebbsfleet-Europe competitor to #Eurostar again. Difficult to see how they can finish/reverse/start at #Stratford without major track works, running empty into #StPancras and back out, or resignalling the Camden Road ramp to enable HS1-only stock on it. Then there's the problem of fitting border posts into Stratford's constrained pre-Brexit station space.

@dracos you're more reasonable than me. I would have substituted https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:London_Underground_Overground_DLR_Crossrail_map.svg just to spite the silly cockwombles. #uktrains #tube #mindthegap

@respros
I'm no expert but I do use Thameslink & always assume the delays are so common because every train had done a long rural haul (with scope for cumulative trouble) before even leaving central LOndon.
Services terminating/starting in London have a big advantage as they can start on time.
