The incoming Thameslink service arrived at Brighton late with the

driver of the returning service ready and waiting on the platform end to head back straightaway. He is seen unlocking the driver's door ready to get the 11.15 service to Cambridge away promptly. My wife and I travelled aboard 700134 from here as far as London St. Pancras International. On this hot day that was now the fourth with a September temperature in excess of thirty degrees Celsius, my wife and I both commented that it was actually a bit chilly inside the train such was the efficiency of its air conditioning.
