London bridge tracks untangled is so much better for throughput - I remember so many long waits as a Brighton train blocked the whole station crossing the tracks.

One surprising good thing the gov did at that time was insist on the rebuild of the station itself, it was particularly grim, and just a mess.

I've lived nearby the whole time and the new station is a nice space, generally efficient with good throughput for the trains.

I'm pessimistic, but really hoping they don't stick with plans to build a too small terminus in London for HS1, not too optimistic as we have Rachael Reeves as a continuity austerity Chancellor - lets see.

You're talking about HS2 and Old Oak Common, right? Yeah that's a peculiar choice of terminus
