As a regular user of the former WAGN part of FCC's franchise my
experience since last April is that you are talking through your rear
orifice.


Oh look , its you again. Well as a regular user of Thameslink I can say
categorically that roughly 80% of the southbound trains in the morning
rush hour are late. Some by more than 15 minutes. This was not the case
when the thameslink company ran it. And my last experience of taking
the WAGN service from finsbury park 2 months back was not a pleasent
one - overcrowded trains and late.

Yup, we in Cambridge were certainly better off with WAGN than with
First (and I use FGW too, so I can see the signs of the slippery slope).
