New 8:03 from Wallington to LB wasn't on the board today, however it did turn up. So that's something at least.

okay, so the East Grinstead to LB train (now thameslink to Bedford) got me in 20mins earlier than usual, and it was a few mins late. But I remain suspicious.

Had to get Thameslink as Virgin (soon to be publicly owned) East Coast was really late. Numb backside but nicely cooled and on time.

well despite my morning trains now being half as frequent as before, with the crappy older carriages and less of them, and leaving earlier so I have to get out of bed earlier, it still got into London Bridge at about the same time as before. Sigh.

Sounds like I had it easy compared to other parts of the network today though

The shoddy PR exercise hasnt helped and makes them look ultra foolish. That stupid canadian announcement proclaiming how great the new timetable will be has left them with egg on their faces. The posters also sputing 'improvements', 'more reliable' services etc are equally as bad. Why not just honesty and to-the-point information? People are not thick.

I must admit the new Thameslink services sound very impressive. Standing at London Bridge, hearing new destinations like Cambridge and Peterborough joining existing Bedford and Luton services. You can see how it's going to reduce the strain on the underground network.

Shame over half were cancelled but I guess these 'operational incidents' must be quite severe.

No surprise they are running Coulsdon Town terminators. Through most of the day no ****** gets on or off between Tattenham and Coulsdon anyway.

They've only been planning it for several months. Bound to be teething problems. For the next 5 years.

Several months? They have been planning it long enough for the project's name to have evolved from "Thameslink 2000" to "Rail 2020"

Well it’s a good job that these Thameslink trains have a lot of standing room because there are an absolute shit ton of people standing. And that’s before we’ve even reached Stevenage.

Always used to get a seat before.
