First Automatic Thameslink Train in Passenger Service

ATO (Automatic Train Operation) is already working on five London Underground lines, but it's now come to the National Rail network too. As part of the Thameslink Programme, to get 24 trains per hour through the 'Core' section between St Pancras and Blackfriars (to be extended to London Bridge), the trains now drive themselves, and we too a ride on the first ever one ... Thanks to Christ Denham from Network Rail, and Matt Street - the voice of Thameslink! - from GTR. For more information have a look at the Railplan2020 website: https://www.railplan2020.com/
