What TOC would you like me to do next? I have plans to do either the Gatwick Express , South Eastern or First Capital Connect next. Yet me know. Thank you for watching
5:48 seeing the white wagn livery, the purple one, i remember that rhubarb and custard one too.. ahh man from the way they sounded to the way the seats smelt, i REALLY miss those 317s and them days
It’s worth pointing out that the 319/0s that weren’t refurbished by Thameslink (319001-319013) and the 319/2s (the refurbished 319014-319020) weren’t operated by Thameslink, instead by Connex and subsequently Southern. They were only subleased to Thameslink in the late stages of the franchise before fully passing to First Capital Connect around 2009.
I doubt it, the link at Farringdon was served to extend the platforms towards the Snow Hill tunnels, I believe that the Met Circle and H&C lines have access to the platforms as I have a video of the 1960's tube stock using them but not for regular use.
@@BPMR gotcha, its always nice to explore old options tho, just like the line from Tottenham hale to Stratford, was closed for years and the re opened it, nothing wrong with that

Thank you
1:17 I've Been On The Thameslink Express Train From East Croydon To London Blackfriars As Well Too. Thanks Mate. X
I remember going on one of these 317s from brighton up to kings cross thameslink was bloody fast at top speed, good memories
Do you mean 319s? 317s weren’t capable of running on the southern region
@@lakshmanpathak yep i sure did🤦🏽♂️
As soon i saw this lol
But that time i was talking was years back probably 04’ / 05’
Hello I’ve just subscribed!
Hello and welcome to the channel.
They were quite fast given that they were about as aerodynamic as an old Leyland bus!
Enjoyed watching your video. Thanks.
I love that green strip livery on the 317, theres been so many liveries on the 317s over the years on both the kings x branch and Liverpool st lines
The 317 are not my most documented units but I may gave enough material to feature them in the future
@@BPMR 👍🏽
Gona miss em when they are gone.
Think i said that on another comment, sorry if i did.
good video
Thank You
@@BPMR no problem
@@BPMR this is really interesting I love theses sort of videos
Will they ever use those disused platforms at moorgate again do you reckon?

@@ace-paidinfull5240 Along with Lea Bridge Station, closed for many years but now fully operational again.
@@ianmcclavin lea b seems like a pointless stop tho in all honesty.
I dnt see why they cant allow some trains not to stop there sometimes.
What's the station with the massive gradient?
That would be the route between Blackfriars and City Thameslink. Not sure if you can still access that view point today.
Part 2?
I'm currently writing the script at the moment. It's been a bit busy at home and at work at the moment.
