We are going to use a Thameslink train now. This is an interesting route. It runs from Bedford, Luton, St Albans City, Peterborough and Cambridge via central London to Sutton, Orpington, Sevenoaks, Rainham, Horsham and Brighton. It is one of the few lines, both Underground and NR that goes through London north-south. It is so important that as for December 2020 (and before the creation of the TfL) it is again showed on the Tube/TfL Map, despite being operated as a franchise. It was and still is being highly modernized during the Thameslink Programme that started in 2009. Actually, part of the programme is the modernization of the London Bridge station and some others that I'll mention later. There are 24 long trains trains per hour on the core section through the central London, which makes it a rail line that is really similar to Crossrail, just north-south instead of east-west (and remember that the north-south Crossrail 2 project is something completely different). The line uses the Snow Hill tunnel that opened on 1 January 1866 and was not used for many years (it was closed for passenger traffic between 1916 and 1986, when the first Thameslink was established, in the last years of British Rail).

The Central Criminal Court of England and Wales (Old Bailey) is a criminal court building, one of several that house the Crown Court of England and Wales. It hears major criminal cases from within Greater London. In exceptional cases, trials may be referred to the Old Bailey from other parts of England and Wales. What is also important is that this is the workplace of the Recorder of London, an ancient legal office in the City of London. They are the senior Circuit Judge at the Central Criminal Court (the Old Bailey), hearing trials of criminal offences. In addition to hearing criminal trials at the Central Criminal Court, the Recorder of London heads up court list management (including allocation of cases) to the court's judges. The Recorder also provides legal advice to the Lord Mayor and the Court of Aldermen. The recorder takes charge of the election of the Lord Mayor of London, declares the result, and physically presents the new Lord Mayor for the monarch's approval.
