A busy commuter route is to benefit from 1,100 carriages in a £1.4bn deal. The new, energy-efficient trains will provide an additional 14,500 seats on the Thameslink route.
The new trains will run from 2012 between London's St Pancras and Blackfriars stations and on services on the Midland and East Coast lines. They will also run via London Bridge and Elephant and Castle to destinations on the Brighton line and on other routes in Kent, Surrey and Sussex.
