There is a clear need to distinguish the Thameslink *service* from other
routes that FCC operate, and if FCC are in fact removing the Thameslink
name or even seeking to change station names that include "Thameslink",
then I think that Ian Brown is absolutely right to try to stop it.

At Moorgate, the signs still direct national rail passengers to the
"Thameslink" or "WAGN" platforms (depending on whether you want to go
to KX Thameslink or to Finsbury Park). Staff also use these names on
the handwritten whiteboard that announces temporary disruptions,
sometimes with First Capital Connect in brackets after it.

I think that not only should the name "Thameslink" be retained, but the
name "Great Northern" (or something better) be resurrected to refer to
the Moorgate-Finsbury Park (and beyond) line. You can still make out
the painted-over words "Great Northern Electrics" on some (not very)
old signs.
