"There is good news for commuters travelling out of Brighton station as
the
first Class 700 Thameslink service makes its maiden journey.
The 10:02am departure from the city to London Bridge on Monday (June 20th)
will allow passengers to get a first glimpse of the future of train travel
between Brighton and Bedford."

So far it's maintaining Thamleslink's reputation for late running and
delays. 5 down at Haywards Heath, 11 down north of Gatwick ;-)

(assuming it is a class 700 on the journey)

It staggered into London Bridge 19 minutes late. I didn't say (elsewhere)
Thameslink's service reliability was good, only that it's slightly better
than Southern!

I wonder if the 'normals' on board even noticed that it was a brand-new
trains of an all-new design?
