Default City Thameslink Station

I use public transport mainly at weekends so my experiences almost
certainly are not representative of what most people have to contend
with.

When I pass through City Thameslink Station at weekends it seems
almost a ghost station, with no passengers in sight. How busy is
this station from Monday to Friday?


It's extremely quiet outside the peaks on Mon - Fri as well, in my
experience.

I think this is probably because it isn't really a destination in its own
right, and there are no signed interchanges with the underground (although
St Pauls on the Central line is not that far from the northern entrance.)

I suspect it has no advantage for offpeak travellers and tourists over the
stations either side.
