        @BBCBreaking Assume the person responsible for this decision has never had the misfortune of having to use the Thameslink line #FirstGroup

        @oxdowngazette @BBCBreaking Ben. Well said.... Thameslink is a joke and the West Coast will now go the same way I fear.

        @BBCBreaking Firstgroup has run the Thameslink line into the ground. Absolutely shocking service. Rip-off fares, filthy trains, rude staff.

        @BBCBreaking good job I got my drivers licence. They'll hike fares to recoup budget shortfall. They run First Capital Connect dreadfully!

        @BBCBreaking hopefully only cosmetic changes to trains and quality of service won't suffer! L'pool - London in 2hrs is excellent.
