Christmas Travel Nightmare ahead on Thameslink

[@MattMK45]

Thanks for summarising, I thought it was for something like HS2.

A new underpass for a new freight depot. Where about is this please. Also there’s going to be a brand new station at Wixams just south of Bedford that would have 4 platforms and Thameslink trains to serve the new railway station. Once it’s completed.

This is south of St Albans, between StA and the M25

Christmas probably the best time to do it. But why dose it need to be described as a nightmare ?

[@masekwm]

For many it will be, no trains from London to Luton Airport, no trains for those that have to work, family visits, etc. I don’t disagree it is the best time to do it but for many it will cause a headache

[@simoncroft9792]

Thanks WN, guess the freight depot will connect to this train line

[@masekwm]

That's right, but weirdly not the neighbouring M25 - I need to read the transport plan for where the trucks will actually go. There is another being built in Northampton

At least people traveling will be warned in advance. How about giving thanks to the workers giving up their Christmas and yes before anyone says but they are paid well yes they will be paid well but still they’re giving up their Christmas.

[@masekwm]

I really hope people will be warned, I commute 3 times a week and have not noticed any warning on the train or stations. Yes, the workers will giving up their Christmas as they will be completing an amazing piece of civil engineering.
