Luton Airport Thameslink-District Line Blackfriars?

I am arriving at Luton Airport London and going on to Barking. I thought to take the Thameslink City Flier and at Blackfriars change to the District Line on the Tube, which runs to Barking. Are their platforms at Blackfriars level? Is it easy to change? (Heavy luggage). Or should I find a different route?

Why don't trains have a Caboose anymore?

I remember an old song, called, "The Little Red Caboose" and got to wondering, what ever happened to the Caboose on trains?

And, does anyone have the words to that song, "The Little Red Caboose" ?

Do you think certain types of headphones for iPods should be banned on tubes and buses?

Maybe you should have to get some that insulate the noise from escaping, instead of everyone else having to hear a cartton version of drum n bass! lol

Why don't we have high speed trains between Chicago and St. Louis, St. Louis and Kansas City, etc, etc.??

Wouldn't it be convenient to live in St. Louis and take the train to your job in Chicago?? Or how about taking an afternoon trip to root for the Cards at Wrigley and be home in time for Letterman. Imagine what it would do for tourism. And add gambling cars and woohoooo.
