Now that Thameslink and Southern are effectively the same franchise, it is tempting to hope that we could get some stopping thameslink services. There would have to be a switch onto the fast lines somewhere though - is there anywhere north of Norwood Junction this can happen though? At London Bridge it could be done but would involve crossing Charing Cross services, which are South Eastern and so I suspect would be blocked for that reason. And there lies the crux of the issue as it is this that prevents our sadly missed CX services from running too.
