The train service is hardly that good and frequent either. Lots of slow
trains but fasts are only hourly.


The semi-fasts are only 12 minutes slower than the hourly fast, and
there's only 11 minutes each hour where if you head for the fast
train platform you'll get there quicker than heading for the
Thameslink platform.

Overall, it's simply not worth even considering the "fasts",
especially as you are much more likely to get a seat on the
semi-fasts.


That's even worse than the Stansted service.


There's 4tph taking 33mins on the semi-fasts.
