Any Thameslink drivers reading this? A quiz question has this wording
'Between The North Pole (a real pub in 2012) and Wormwood Scrubs is a railway bridge.
At that point on the line something happens that only happens at three other places in London. All those other places are stations. How many can you name?'
The 'official' answer is Drayton Park, Farringdon and Acton Central.
However, I was on a Thameslink train yesterday (Sunday 16th May). On Sundays, trains do not call at City Thameslink. However, my train came to a halt in the station and the driver explained (I paraphrase) that it was to do the changeover from dc to ac. My later return train did the changeover at Farringdon and did not stop at City Thameslink.
Is it standard practice for the northbound services to changeover at City Thameslink and the southbound at Farringdon?
If it is, the 'official' answer to the question is not quite right.
