(many people still not even considering [Thameslink] as a good way to

most likely - going around the Circle line or going through central
London on busy lines like the Piccadilly Line or Victoria Line).

The service frequency from King's Cross to Blackfriars makes it almost
as good as any other tube line, but I bet loads of people never consider
it (and not having it on the tube map probably doesn't help!).


That's it, though - between KX and Blackfriars, it's great, but outside
that, it gets rubbish fast, as most of the trains are fasts, and don't
stop at Kentish Town, Elephant, etc.
